Russian Taiga
Vast, untouched stretches of dense coniferous forests and marshes in the northern Russian regions.

Hamburg & Elbe River

Picardy Landscapes

Choose the right side if you prefer cooler, softer lighting during the day.

In winter, look for the 'frozen' landscape effect across the Russian and Polish plains which is particularly striking from this angle.
