Don't remember seeing these...

...Empty Hills, perhaps (though the last one here isn't: the building and fronds tell us Koktebel and Neptune Day respectively, while exif tells us '07...)?

oh g'd, i love this thread

I'm not sure about the last photo :) There are now such buildings and hills an my region ;) I live in the same region where the Empty Hills fest is going usually. It was in suburbs of Maloyaroslavets in 2007.

I have never been to Russia or any former SSR's, much less to Koktebel; my reasoning for saying the last picture is from the Neptune festival there, however, is based on seeing many pictures identified as being of the event and the area around it. Here there are, in reverse of the way the procession usually goes, the steps at the demarcation of the beach's end; the beach and those steps, with the same building in the background; the beach, showing the hill the procession comes down, obscuring most of, again, that same building; a closer shot as the procession turns from the hill toward the beach, with a bit of that building visible behind the hill; finally, a group at the top of the same hill, before their descent (along a path to the left of the picture, where the building is also located). Given the location, as well as what they are carrying, I'm still pretty sure I was right before...

You are right, as I've studies pics from Koktebel a lot myself. However, I just want to remind everyone (as the originator of this thread) that pics from Koktebel and other beach locations in Russia were not intended to go here.
If you reread my opening post, you will note that I was primarily trying to draw out wilderness pics, not beach pics (which can be found in other threads).

thanks - and those are good ones regardless, Crispus -
