Lake Kanas in the morning sun


Stepping  down to the edge of the lake in the early morning, I set up my easel there, and painted this view. While painting on the spot, I apparently attracted a huge crowd of curious tourists who came to take a peep and asked all sorts of questions. I must have puzzled them so much by telling them I came from as far as Canada and yet my birthplace is actually just 200 kilometers away from the park! Who can believe that I had lived in Altay for the first twenty years of my life without knowing the existence of Lake Kanas, and the park did not come to existence either until early 90s.!
