In this summer on July we travelled to grandmother, who lived in Shumerlya by car. Shumerlya lies in 1300 miles from Yekaterinburg. We visited Votkinsk-place where P.I. Tchaikovsky lived and Yelabuga. In Yelabuga connected two cultures-Russian and culture of Tatarstan. It is very beautifull town. There is also very good horse-riding school. And there often are hold Horse-Races.
There is also museum of Nadezda Durova. She lived in XIX century and took part in the War in 1812. She had a horse called Alkid. Alkid was Kabardinian horse as I know. There are her saddles , bridle, photos of her horse.
This is very beautifull place, named Shishkin's lakes.


It is lake near Shumerlya. It is also beautifull.

Gorgeous ! Thank you for posting

Oh wow, that first pic is gorgeous! Look at the hills in the background!

Thanks!
Artist, who had surname Shishkin, lived near this lakes (at the first picture). We were in his museum (his house in past). If you look into the window of Shishkin's house, you can see this lakes and hills. I think that this artist got inspiration from this scenery.

Wow! Beautiful place!
