Autumn in Altay mountains in Russia.
The name "Altay" (or "Altai") comes from Mongolian "Altan", which means "golden". And this is the place of myth and legends and in some areas the alive now.
This is very remote place, located far away from villages and town. For this shot I had to wait until sun came out from behind the clouds and illuminated the yellow larches.
