First time trying to post here, so somewhat of a test. Just back from 2 weeks in the Nenets Autonomous District, up above the Arctic Circle in Russia near the Kara Sea. Most of the Nenets are nomadic reindeer herders living much as their ancestors did hundreds of years ago, in a territory 1.5 times the size of France. Hope you find these interesting. More can be viewed in my gallery. http://rusuphotography.com/Business-Travel-Rustem/Nenets/9601892_tTD9H#650113439_TZZWm Thanks for looking!
