The dusty streets of Khuzhir
Olkhon Island is located in Lake Baikal in Siberian Russia. It is the largest island in the lake, and is home to roughly 1500 people. The largest village on the island is Khuzhir, which is home to approximately 1200 Rusians, Tartars and Buryats. There are no paved roads, and there is no indoor plumbing, and not all homes have electricity. During the summer, the island is accessible by ferry; during the winter an "ice road" is opened across Lake Baikal.

Cathedrals of Vladimir
What appears as two cathedrals in the center of this photo are actually both part of the Assumption Cathedral (Uspensky Sobor in Russian), which dates back to 1158. To the far left you can see the top of the Cathedral of St. Dmitri, which dates back to 1194.
