Once Upon a Time in Siberia Part-1

One of the locals.

Camera lens freezes up and resists zooming.

Frost and the sun, what a beautiful day! And it is just -42C (-44F) outdoors.

The sign says: the best yard 2005. For sure, you can’t argue with it.

Bleak fire of the winter sun.

The first man. Almost every car is with a started motor. In the morning only those cars that have been staying in heated parking place at night can be started. After 15 minutes of being outdoors the photocamera frosted over and refused to work.

This is a parking place with heating. You can recognize it because of thick ice built-up on the doors.

The car of the photographer can start while it is -40C (-40F) outside, but it is better to park it into the parking place to be on the safe side.

To warm the camera up, the photographer came into the riser block of flats in one of the houses. It is warm over there, just -5C (+23F.)

Night city.
