The Long Drive Photo

Photographer’s Note

Spotted in Tynda outside a restaurant & bar. The drivers were probably inside, having a well earned Klinskoe Beer!

The text on the white vehicle reads:

Scandinavia, England, Eastern Europe, Germany, Siberia, Mongolia, Magadan, Vladivostok, Sydney.

Tynda is just outside eastern Siberia, in Amur province, & is a small town of 40,000 people, purposely built to service the auxiliary Baikal Amur Mainline, which runs several hundred kilometres north of the TransSiberian Railway. The Australian Flag & 'Sydney', caught my eye here.

Hi Chris,
a long trip with a big difference in quality of roads. Must be a well prepared car and driver. The angle makes it dynamic and give more attention to the sign than to the cars, which is very pleasant here.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf
