So here is the fifth thread about the trip I did this summer in Siberia.
Here are the links towards the four first threads :

Siberia from North to East. Part 3 : Along the Yenisei
Siberia from North to East. Part 4 : Yeniseisk and Podtesovo
Krasnoyarsk is one of the important cities of central Siberia. It's just close to one million of people, but after several days in the middle of the vast and empty taïga, it felt like the biggest city on Earth.
1- Main bridge of the city, crossing the Yenisei river, taken from my hotel.
2- A very foggy day. It's a pity.
