Taiga on the Train
... the contents onto the noisy track racing past below. Up to my second provodnitsa on this journey. It's a tough job. I was standing leaning on the exit doorway on the north side looking out its window for a while before. Admiring the endless taiga. Noting little boggy tracks leading deep into its emerald green interior. Wishing I could jump off and tread silently into the woods. Every now and then an oncoming train would ...
