That’s what I see on my way home in the evening. In the last Friday evening, Dec. 4, 2009, we had -41ºC and fog and no winds. So the frost was almost dry and burning, and my quickly frozen camera was slow to take pictures. Many unfocused shots were just deleted. See the left pics.
That’s a X-mas tree on the Ordzhanikidze Sq. No garlands and decorations yet. We are promised to see its finished beauty on Dec. 9, 2009. Hope it will be so. (more…)
Hehe. These tips are good, but in conditions of our cold we need to put more clothes, I think. However, I saw local marathoneers running in -50C and they didn’t have much layers, almost the same. However, they preferred to wear hat as well 
If I would have a chance, I’ll try to take pictures of those runners.

I have a German friend, Bjorn Steinz. He is a pro photographer based in Prague. Two years ago he visited Yakutsk in November. He spent a few days just walking around on streets and taking pictures of people. Since then I promote his works and website oka2 Photography on every occasion, and I am grateful to him for giving such an permission
Here are what he came out with.
