Journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway: The Seal Show
- gk1 8y agoAuthor here, ask me anything about savant seals.
- frunzales 8y agoI just finished reading through your Russia journal - you did a great job. The seal show blew my mind, especially the linked youtube video.
- aaaaaaass 8y agoHows it feel to support animal curelty?
- advarckcal 8y agoHey just a heads up the first link to the previous section of your trip is broken. Wow what a trip though. How do you think the seals were treated? It looks like a pretty small pool.
- gk1 8y agoFixed, thanks! I don't know much about the seals' treatment. They'd probably prefer to live in the deepest freshwater lake in the world (Lake Baikal) than in some basement pool.
- andy_adams 8y agoIs it odd that I'm drawn to the architecture of the dilapidated wooden homes? I've never seen it before - particularly the ornate pieces above the windows. Is there a name to the style?
- nkurz 8y agoI'm not sure how specific you are being, but "izba" would be a good starting search term. This page has an overview: https://www.rbth.com/arts/2014/01/30/the_wonders_of_the_russian_izba_33697.html https://www.rbth.com/arts/2014/01/30/the_wonders_of_the_russ... And this one lists terms for some architectural features: https://www.slavorum.org/russian-wooden-house-izba-construction/ https://www.slavorum.org/russian-wooden-house-izba-construct...
