More about lake Sevan

Lake Sevan is complex place. Oh it is beautiful indeed, no question about that.

When we arrived there it looked so much like paradise that we knew there had to be a trap.

Are they the trap, croaking from early 'til late and all the time when we're shooting?

No, nothing wrong could come from this beautiful wild life, could it?

"Beautiful wild life", you said?

This is where it gets subtle: although this looks like the ordinary tourist polution, this is not. It's a kind a buoy made of plastic bottles by fishermen to keep their nets afloat.

Still polution, but hey. Harder to be judgemental, isn't it?
Talking about tourists the lake is surrounded by huge abandonned and maybe never finished resorts:

Back to the lake itself. Appart from fishermen and their plastic bottles you find the occasional ship wreckage:

The part of the lake where we were "camping" is pretty much deserted. Some houses a few hundred meters away but we saw no one. An empty fisherman hut (actually once I saw a bunch of people there). Maybe one or two cars passed on the dust road. A few people came looking for a place for fishing but it wasn't a good spot. Oh right there was this guy once:

And someone probably doesn't like sheeps in his... garden?

Not sure what this fence was supposed to protect. It came from the woods, crossed the water, continued on the beach and stopped in bloody spicky bushes on the shore. Yeah, talking about this. On this picture you can clearly see (I mean, beside Pierre's laundry) that there is ground, then water, then some sand (actually very small rocks --- no they do not float) then the lake.

I've got my idea but if someone knows for sure what creates this, I'd like to know.

That being said. The place is nice for sure. But you can get quite bored there. Did I mention the weather was funny?

Like really bloody funny as hell.

And when the weather is too funny and you're soaked and you're locked in the van and it's starting to be damp well you start thinking you'd have more fun in Erevan.

Last note about Sevan: remember this tree, he said, and vanished mysteriously in a puff of smoke to write the next post.
