Yalchik

Yalchik - A lake in the Republic of Mari El, some 70 km from Kazan. First I went there in 2007 to attend the Conference organized by Russian Gravitational Society. Since then I was there three times in 2009 and 2010. It is a beautiful lake. We live in the summer camp of Kazan Pedagogical University. The five days we spend there are simply fantastic. No cell phone, no internet, no TV. Just physics and beautiful nature. Specially in the morning when the lake is covered with mist and the baby sun tried to get up out of that. Here are some photos taken in different times. Here are the 1. Run away clouds 2. Bathing of the clouds 3. Morning in mist 4.Flying away 5. Good Morning 6.

                                                                   Run away clouds
                                          Taken in 2009 near the Large Yalchik. I was with Bogdan,
                                           Victor and Rushan

                                                                 Bathing of the clouds
                                          Taken in 2009 on the way to Large Yalchik. The two parts
                                           of Yalchis connected with a channel. These lillies grow there

                                                                      Morning in mist
                                          2009, one of  my favorite shots. It was not that early, the sun
                                           was quite hard in thick mist

                                                                          Flying away
                                          2009. Sometimes the lakes is almost covered with clouds

                                                                          Good Morning
                                          2007. The first day when the lake was covered with mist

                                                                  Caught by the mist
                                          2007. One of favorite shots from 2007. First mist on Yalchik

                                                                  Soul of the Yalchik
                                          2010. The sun was high and the mist was thick
 

                                                                      Hide and seek
                                          2007. Last shot. It was raining. Ran to the lake, took it and the
                                          camera stop working

                                                             Morning on the Yalchik
                                          2007. Another shot of morning mist

                                                                 Milky morning
                                         2010. It was rather cold. Sky was cloudy and mist standing on the Yalchik

                                                                      Tranquility
                                          2010. And the reflection of clouds in the lake was beautiful

                                                                              Curves
                                         2010. Cloud, mist and the curves of the shore met together to give 
                                         a beautiful view
