There are some pictures from 1996 Gathering in river Tchusovaya (Ural Moutains) that were taken by Volodya Volos (LongHair) and sent to me by Misha <bum.shankar@usa.net>. Misha also helped by writing the captions. All of the folks pictures here consented to their use on the net.

Our friends from Perm - Leha, Olka and little Glasha. I love them. The Bear sign on the door was painted by Yulya right on the Gathering site.


Well, it is Mahmud.


These one we (mainly Yulya - shame on me!) made from the medical stretchers - sew canvas parts of it altogether - very heavy (30 kg), but the real home and made of real hemp (-:

These is oldest, Vrezh, giving chapati around the circle. He is great in nearly everything - studied throat singing from the Tuvan shamans, playing music on everything, making instruments and traditional Mongolian masks. Mahmud on the background.
