Life At Lake Baikal

2014/08/23


What kind of life is there on the Buryat shore of lake Baikal? Small villages, wooden houses, boats and sledges waiting for winter time. Talkative and friendly people who never hurry and who can handle with fish tackle much better than with cellphones or computers. Most of them are Russian. How do they make their living? By hunting, fishing, logging, selling stuff to tourists and renting houses to them.







Life of people who live close to the lake and of those who live in Transbaikal, in valleys and taiga villages is pretty much different. Life at the lake seems to be kinda richer.



Fishing net is everything for them.



Prepare sledges in advance…



Many villages here have one street only.



Modern technologies have reached this remote place too. Well, it’s always sunny here so solar batteries make sense.



Playground…



It’s the place of contrasts indeed.



Local club.



Children…they may convert the dullest place into a bright one.
