Lake Baikal and vicinities
« on: January 19, 2013, 08:45:29 PM »
Approximately each 4-5-6 years we with the husband travel on the mountains near Lake Baikal.
This year the my friend who too is present at this forum joined us - Natalia Lambrova.
I want to show a little of what we have seen in those distant lands.

 
In Sludianka we came by train ... subsequently moved differently mainly on foot with knapsacks on our backs ...

I am so pleased you have started this thread Natalia, I have wanted to see what the Lake Baikal area was like for some years, and I will never be able to travel there so I am happy ;D

It is exciting to see your trip, Natalia- I agree with Brian.  Thank you.
There is something pleasant in finding, so soon, that a marmalade cat looks the same all over the world!

This is looking to be an interesting thread Natalia as this is an area of which I know very little.

Thank you for posting.

Colleagues, thank you for your support.  :)
ronm - your cats are gorgeous! I begin the story, I hope my friend Natalie will participate in this topic - Baikal is so varied that talk about those places is very difficult. Everyone has their own impressions ....

One of the objectives of the trip were Cypripedium , we saw them on the first day ... And very different forms and different species...
Cypripedium macranthum - The Baikal plants of this species are considered as the brightest in the territory of Russia.

Cypripedium macranthum - This is a photo I found Cypripedium macranthum done my friend - Natalie. But I could not - I delight hands shook so that all the photos were out of focus. :D



Cyprypedium calceolus - they finished blooming, but we managed to find a flowering plant...

Cypripedium guttatum - there were a lot of different designs and different shades, unfortunately not all photos were successful  :'(



  Another very interesting plant -  Eranthis sibirica=Shibateranthis sibirica - Find it after flowering, if you do not know where to look - very difficult, but we managed to find and collect its seeds.
