Bald Mountain and the island city of Sviyazhsk

IMG_8008.jpg

Tatarstan, Bald Mountain with a view of the Island-town of Sviyazhsk. Once upon a time it was an ordinary city, but after the construction of a cascade of hydroelectric power stations on the Volga and Kama, it turned into an island. Now it is connected to the other world by two highways built on embanked dams. The places here are beautiful, in the summer most likely everything is occupied by tourists. But we were here in early November, when many of the tourist season is already closed. The photos are not in chronological order, according to the correct one, night shots should go first, and then morning ones.

Really pretty photos of the landscape man!

those city colors in the background looks really pretty

For the sake of such pictures, one could freeze a little, just that night the temperature dropped to -3, -5 Celsius. It was cold in the tent :))

Damm forr sure no my favorite weather!! Venezuela is really warm

Hmmm... Seems nice and isolated...

You camped om bald mountain? You seem like someone I'd be able to drink a whiskey around a campfire with.

It's been sometime since I last camped but I think the time for me to go camping again is drawing closer..

Beautiful view especially at night 😍🌃

Night, a fire, someone drinks whiskey, someone drinks coffee - it's great. This is one of the reasons why I love such camping events... And food cooked on a fire seems to be several times tastier than the same cooked at home :))

Yes, we had a camp on Bald Mountain - the place was chosen spontaneously, due to delays on the road, we fell behind the intended route, so we had to improvise :)) but I am very pleased with the result
