Khan Altai photos

A potted history of what we've been up to the last couple of months. First the solar eclipse in Russia, we packed ourselves off to a trance festival in the Altai region of Siberia and had an absolute ball. There were birthday shenanigans for a couple of the people we set up camp with (hi mega-sasha and sara, i hope it was a good one for you both?) and then the eclipse itself which was immense. I was trying to decide whether to film the whole thing and commit it to internet for all eternity, or to sit back and watch this incredible phenomenon with my own eyes and commit it to memory for the rest of my life - and I'm sorry to say I was selfish and watched it all with my eyes and not through a camera so I haven't got many photos, but you'll have to take my word for it that it was immense.
Sad goodbyes were said to the mini village we'd made in the middle of Siberia for 10 days, but I reckon it's not goodbye forever, more of a see you later. Following photos for you all : )

Martin and Holly. Wow, I was wondering if I'd manage to catch up with you again. Came across your blog on a random google image search for Khan Altay.

Hope all is well! Get in touch,
John (from LA)
