Kiy Island

I received this card in November in one of the Round Robins. It is the Kiy Island in Arkhangelsk Region. It is in the North of Russia, and seems so wild, though a lot of people come there.

The Crimean peninsula is famous not only for its resorts (there are lots of them there), but also for its climate, nature and beauty. This place is called the Fox Bay, now it the landscape reserve of local value.
