Khakassia Part Deux

For the record, Khakassia is a republic of Russia in the south center meaning that it is mountainous and not in the desert. This is a rather small, but indicative picture of the actual area. Looks nice! There are several other gorgeous pictures of the mountainous regions of the Russian Federation here. This is the Wikipedia article on the area. The ethnic natives are Khakas. I am not kidding.
