Totally engaging winter scene. Every element makes this an all time favorite winter scene. I would like to know more about this special place.

Thanks for your appreciation! This picture is one of the best photos I ever shot. I made it during my ethnogrphy expedition to mountains of Altai in Russia, to ratherdistant region of this mountains that is called Khan steppe. The story of this picture is the story of wrong turn. We missed our turn and went different way. Along the way we went up the hill an saw this frozen river running through the yellow autumn grass. The view was amazing and we spend an our hooting this
