The Sleeping Sayan

Yesterday I went for mushrooms, and it so happened that I was in a different place than originally planned. The camera was at hand and during the trip took a few photos. Not all of them turned out the way time to stop were few and had to photograph from the car window while driving.

The legend of the Sayan

Once upon a time, there lived a master of the taiga. People simple and decent, he was a favorite of the gods. For his honesty, kindness to all living creatures they put to protect their seats. For many years he lived on shore and the riches of nature. Don't beat animals unnecessarily, not to cut down trees, trampled grass in vain. Understanding the language of animals and plants, tried to help them in every way. But if evil was trying to get into his possession, punished him mercilessly. But the inexorable passage of time. Came old age, and after her death. It's time to go SANU in the world of shadows. The gods are unable to find in the world of another person and decided to pay Sayana in stone for the eternal protection of the taiga. And he is the guardian of eternity - long straight hair fall from the head, calmly and majestically resting on his chest. The sleeping Sayan protects their wealth.

This place is beautiful in any weather, even when it's raining.
