21 October 2013. Only in Russia! Now, HERE’S a Place to “Sit and Think” (Amongst Other Things)
______________________________
This is the “little house” for a meteorological station in Kara Tyurek in the Altai Mountains (it’s 30 klicks (19 miles) away from the nearest village, Kucherla (Ust-Koksinsky Raion. Altai Republic. Siberian Federal District). It’s the highest-altitude weather station in all of Russia! It’s at 2,596 metres (8,517 feet), in the Belukha Nature Park. I’d not want to have the “hot trots” in a raging wind or snowstorm, that’s for certain! How far is it from the main housing, in any case? Is there a window in the back to “admire the scenery?” Perspirin’ minds wanna know…

16 September 2013. Sergei Yolkin’s World. But What About Indian Summer?!
But What About Indian Summer?!

In Russian, “Indian Summer” is бабье лето (babye leto), which, literally, is “grandma’s summer” (or, as we Russian-Americans would say, “baba’s summer”). It’s one of those idiomatic things in language, which you can only translate by using an equivalent idiom, NOT a literal translation.

According to Gidrometcentr Rossii (Hydrometeorological Centre of Russia), during the first week of September, central European Russia will have typical autumn weather, “Indian Summer” will come later. Sergei Yolkin gives his view of all that.
