Meditative evening at a campsite on Olkhon Island

After a full day on Olkhon Island with its cold winds and sultry August sun, campsite residents gather for a bonfire with a guitar, songs and food. The photo captured a moment of my friend's short meditative rest before the evening began and also before the sunset. In the background you can see the setting of the campsite. The details of the place putting together a portrait of its inhabitants.
