Thats a lot of colourful roofs there Serg.

Lovely city with a very busy port.  

A lovely-looking city straddling the river - Irtysh?

The port only operates in summer when there is no ice

I'm old enough to remember that era.

Makes sense why it is so busy then while it is accessible.

Yeah, that is definitely frozen solid.  Probably frozen so solid and thick that you could drive across it.

For several months in winter you can drive cars along it, there are crossings

I figured that might be possible.  I spent some time in Northern Alaska and saw rivers frozen solid that you could drive across.

Very nice footage. Especially with those cranes!
