Finally, after 21 years of migrating to Germany - at that time I was innocent nine years old - I had the opportunity to visit my homeland and remaning family aswell. It was such a blast. My by far greatest pleasure was to walk the steppe with my Canon FD cameras - exploring. This might be Kazakhstan`s most delightful Siberian fir - at the area of the most beautiful firs anyways. This picture happend to be shot at the original waterfalls we visited which flow in a region of somekind big hills and uplifting forests of firs and birches. At the end after a classic banquette-like Russian Barbeque we (the "young guns" - me and my three about same aged cousins [2m/1f] who live in Kazakhstan and whom I couldn`t thank enough to make this trip such a blast. ...) climbed high up passing the wildrunning waterfalls, narrow caves and steep cliffs. The view from the top was amazing. But non of this had as much magical spark as this most fascinating mossy pygmyweed which covered the whole ground up there. Just imagine: The snow had just melted a short while ago, so they were all dead, bonedry and still hanging on to a wonderfully bright turquoise colour. The sight alone was enchanting but the sound was a genius stroke of nature itself. Every single step crushes thousands of tiny moss-strings beneth your foot with an elastic reverb, a feeling like walking a freshly covered snowfield and the soud was just as if you WERE actually on a snow field. I got used to really harsh winters in my youth. Meters of snow, blizzards and sledding from our houses roof afterwards - here in Germany I live at a wonderfull place at the Baltic Sea coast - there is nothing to complain about, I love it here but our winters are so weak. We barely have snow. This is where my personal plot starts to transcendent.
