I am an amateur photographer. And I try to take my camera with me when I'm travelling around Baikal. When people ask me: "Why do you take pictures of this place - is it your first time here?" I say "Just because I love these places so much!" And they are surprised on how excited I get even if I have been there before. Well, enjoy some of my video scetches which i made during different tours to wintry Baikal. And if you may find our winter tours to Baikal lake here.
