Siberian sunrise

Welcome to Siberia, the largest region of the largest country in the world, distinguished by its large emptiness.

10am, yawn.

Here, somewhere near the city of Tyumen, the sun rises at 10am, which is about right for me. It hangs out till around 6pm, which is reasonable in my opinion.

Sunrise over a snow covered marsh and a birch forest.

Its morning rays seem thinly spread over, what Andrew Marr would probably call such vast vast vastness. Or Brian Cox would call such wonderous wonder.
