Siberian Autumn

What is it about the season of Autumn, or Fall as it is known in some parts of the world. It is so magical. Perhaps it’s because the splendour and colour of Autumn contradicts itself. Shorter days, cooler temperatures and falling leaves also signals the frigid embrace of another Winter just waiting around the corner. However, how can one possibly give an approaching Winter even the tiniest consideration when you’ve been gifted Russian Siberia in the glory of an amazing Autumn display.

It is the middle of September as the Bazflyers make their way from West to East across Siberia. In just six more days Russia will sadly become an archived memory. The Bazflyers will have again reached Kagoshima in Japan. They were there four months ago. However, this time instead of continuing north as before they will point the trusty Comanche ZK-BAZ in a southerly direction towards home and the first sniffs of Summer. Isn’t our planet amazing....?

The images of flying over Eastern Siberia in the height of Autumn might become an archived event but the magnificence of this spectacle can never be forgotten. 

Tomorrow the Bazflyers depart Ulan-Ude and fly 6-hours to Blagoveshchensk, a city that is only a river bank from China.
