LAKE BAIKAL,RUSSIA
What is the oldest lake in the world?
Lake Baikal is the largest, oldest, and deepest freshwater lake in the world
Lake Baikal, the world’s oldest and deepest freshwater lake, curves for nearly 400 miles through south-eastern Siberia, north of the Mongolian border. At its deepest point it is over 5,000 feet (1,637 meters) deep.
It is the world's largest freshwater lake in terms of volume. It contains about 5,521 cubic miles of water (23,013 cubic kilometers), or approximately 20% of Earth's fresh surface water. This is a volume of water approximately equivalent to all five of the North American Great Lakes combined.

Yuri Gagarin: First Man in Space
Thank to Yana from postcrossing, sent 15/11/2021
Yuri Gagarin was the first person to fly in space. His flight, on April 12, 1961, lasted 108 minutes as he circled the Earth for a little more than one orbit in the Soviet Union's Vostok spacecraft. Following the flight, Gagarin became a cultural hero in the Soviet Union. Even today, more than six decades after the historic flight, Gagarin is widely celebrated in Russian space museums, with numerous artifacts, busts and statues displayed in his honor. His remains are buried at the Kremlin in Moscow, and part of his spacecraft is on display at the RKK Energiya museum.

Tula
Tula 2007
The building of the People's House, which now houses the Young People's Theatre, is famous for being the place where the Soviet regime was proclaimed in Tula and the province on December 7, 1917. Much more interesting is the fate of the Church of the Prophet Elijah, which we see in the background of the old photo. The wooden church existed on this place as early as 1627. In 1755 a two-storey stone church was built. It was the Cathedral of Tula from 1924 to 1943. The building was taken away from the church for workshops. At present the church has been returned to the faithful.

Thanks to Alesia for the nice card from Russia 31/07/2021
Susan Weller is the creator of Holly Pond Hill, an exquisitely detailed watercolor world of gentle creatures. The artist herself is originally from Texas and has lived in a rural setting.

"Stuffed" interior with all sorts of cute knickknacks, lots of colors and natural materials.
The paintings are imbued with family warmth, love, celebration of everyday life.

Steep Coast
Thanks to Julia
A steep coast[1] is a stretch of coastline where the mainland descends abruptly into the sea. There is a sharp transition from the land to sea as opposed to that on a flat coast where the land descends gradually seawards. The height of the land on a steep coast is well above sea level.
Most steep coast are rocky cliffed coasts (also called abrasion coasts), where the erosion processes of wave action result in a steep declivity. Another type of steep coast is the fjord which is formed when a glacial valley lies partially under water as a result of a rise in sea levels. In Norway, New Zealand or Alaska there are fjords whose almost vertical sides tower over 1,000 metres above the water and plunge 300 metres below it.
On volcanic islands the sea can enter the caldera and the face of the volcanic pipe can form a steep coastline. The best-known example of that is Santorini in the archipelago of the Cyclades in Greeces. Fira, the main town of the island, lies on the rim of the caldera which is around 300 metres above the sea and drops below it for another 200 metres.

Kutcherla lake in Altai Russia
Lake Kutcherla is a lake in Altai in the Russian Federation. It is located on the northern slopes of the Katun Mountains in the Altai Republic, above the river of the same name.
It is one of the most important glacial lakes of the region.
The lake is surrounded by subalpine and alpine vegetation, with the mountain slopes covered with conifers. Siberian ibex can be found here, which unfortunately are subject to poaching. The rare snow leopard sometimes appears in the area. The fish that live in its waters are mainly grayling and rainbow trout.
The lake with the emerald color of its waters is a popular destination for both Russian and foreign hiking expeditions. It is a part of the Katun Nature Reserve and therefore a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Winter Palace,St. Petersburg
The Winter Palace
The Winter Palace is a former imperial palace in the heart of St. Petersburg, built from 1754 to 1762 at the request of Empress Elisabeth, daughter of Peter the Great.
Comparing the architecture of the Winter Palace with the buildings of the beginning of the century, one can see how much the artistic tastes had evolved by the middle of the XVIII century.
The dimensions are quite different. At the beginning, the Winter Palace had 1,050 rooms, 117 staircases, 1,886 doors and 1,945 windows. The cornice around the palace is almost two kilometers long! What a difference with the modest homes of Tsar Peter I and his courtiers.
