"Three Brothers" rocks

Submitted by admin on Fri, 08/21/2009 - 17:04


 

"Three Brothers" rocks on Olkhon island, Baikal lake. There's a local legend about three brothers, who were eagles. They would fly above the island and enjoy the sky. Once, they broke the vow given to their father, and ate dead meat. He didn't like it, and turned them into the rocks.
