A West Siberian Town in Autumn: Tyumen
Tyumen is one of the oldest settlings in Siberia and is there located in the West. It's quite diffucult to state, whether it already belongs to the Asian part of Russia or more to the European one. Infrastructure of the town and the landscape around look quite European. While traditionally, the whole Siberian area is considered being the Russian area of Asia. The landscape type is represented by the West Siberian Plain. Steppe, mixed forests and watery areas surround the town.
The footage shows mainly impressions from the historical city, which is characterized by partly old wooden historical buildings and churches, such as a famous Mosque and orthodox buildings.
The colors, even in the autumn are quite different to those I know from Berlin or other areas in the world. The sun is even in this season quite intense, when it appears. Dust on the streets and on cars is a typical unique impression of that fascinating area.
