Photos from a 2012 river cruise of northern Russian. The birch trees were spectacular in groves, along the river's edge, or closeup, especially the silvery bark. Birch bark was used by local craftspeople to make everything from boats to slippers to decorative arts. (Click to enlarge.)

Birch trees are my favorite for their bark. I love how it peels back.
