So my cousin told me, before I even got here, that I should do some drawings and photos of animals and nature. He said Gerald Durrell made good money from his memoirs, and I could do the same. So I got my jacket early in the morning and went into the field.
Fog everywhere, swirls raising from the valleys. Crawled close to a bobak marmot, started fiddling with the camera focus. Suddenly something presses me into the ground with all its weight and gets on my back, I freeze, surprised, just as the marmot I was trying to photograph. Taiga instinct tells me: must be a bear. Then I hear a snort: "Pushta-Pushta?"
Almost had a stroke, I can never notice the locals in the fog first.
Also noticed, I've never seen a man here with an actual beard or mustache, so it's hard to tell them apart from women. But I think only women are riding the hares.
Series about exploration of the steppe nation of baytyrki in a universe that is very close to ours, and yet is different in a number of mysterious and fascinating ways.
