Olkhon Ice Festival: masterpieces of ice on Lake Baikal that will soon disappear
•On the shores of the Baikal island of Olkhon, fancy figures appeared on a stretch of one kilometer. One master depicted the creation of a new universe with planets and galaxies, another a snow leopard leaping, a third the face of a shaman.
•The frozen water droplets of the Baikal spray on the island of Olkhon reach a height of several meters in winter and take on bizarre shapes. What you see in it depends only on your imagination. We visited the amazing Olkhon Ice Festival, where masters of ice sculpture show off their creations created in collaboration with nature.

My dear language learners,
Let's have a daily post in the evening (Moscow time), where you can just chat (either in English or Russian), get acquainted, make friends, (or even look for someone special😉 ), exchange your favourite music, films or just thoughts.
We are so different, but so much alike at the same time.
We are concerned about similar problems, no matter where we live.
Hugs!
Yours sincerely
Natalie
