This area is surrounded by the magnificent Ural mountains and they make an impression that everyone is defended by their stoune chains.
The Ural wildlife is always pretty all year round. Our winter is hard and frosty with much snow but it`s very nice. When the snow covers everything specially trees and houesroofs. We can see the sun beams reflect with snowflake makind an amazing glitter as diamonds and we would be in a fairytale.
In Spring everything melts and quick streams appear. Nature wakes up and greenery comes, the air is fulled by flowers` blossom.
Summer is the abundance of flowers, berries and mushrooms, fruits, the time of holidays. Everyone enjoys the exciting wildlife.
Autumn is the most wonderful season in the Ural. The leaves on trees are colourful. The Russian poets call «Autumn the gold season» and this is the best name for it.
We can`t describe by the words how amazing is the Ural. It must be seen, it must be lived here in. I`m very proud of myself, because, I was born and was grown brought in such brilliant places like those places.
