My dear friend, Vladimir Valenta of Cesko went this September back to the Russian Far East for broom hunting. The coastal range at the Japan Sea was the area he visited, the Sichote-Alin Mountains.

He got beautiful shots of Picea jezoensis and Pinus koraiensis.

Enjoy the photos from the wild nature.

I enclose Lada's original gallery for further nice photos.

(How to capture salmons, etc.)
