Notes​

Due to Yakutian origins of my wife I took part in traditional Yakut selebration called Yh yakh(or Esaah).The event was take place in Olgino not far from St. Petersburg and was presented by local Yakut friendly association.
Yh yakh is the Yakut New Year. It is the symbol of welcome summer and the awakening of nature.
The Yakut ancestor brought this celebration from central Asian steppes. In the beginning it was concerned with the cult of Sun divinity and with traditional economical activity.
The Yakuts celebrated Yh yakh as the holiday of renovation of nature and Human being.
Traditionally, the address to supreme yakut divinities Iyh was the culmination of celebration.
Competition of olonhosuts (narrator of folk tales), round dance Osoyochay, kumyus drinking (kumyus is fermented mare’s milk), sport competitions are obligatory elements of Yh yakh.
 
Totnes Alley
As I lined up to take a relatively boring shot of an alleyway in totnes, a cyclist appeared from nowhere allowing me this catch. The speed of the XA2 was a deciding factor here - I'm likely to have missed it with my leica due to lack of practice!
