In a very remote, roadless part of Kamchatka where we landed on zodiac boats, we tramped across the tundra in wellington boots and thick clothing. A summer day of 5°. This landing spot had a couple of dwellings used occasionally by National Park staff. We were tracking large Kamchatka bears….this is one of the typical walls of the houses….covered in iron grilles and plates to keep the marauding bears out of windows and vulnerable spots.
The walls were clawed and scratched rather fearsomely. 12 years ago..but I remember it as if it was yesterday.
This is John and me being nonchalant and frozen against the wall!
Have a top week. Hope you are safe from fires, and from extreme heat.

Cheers…D
