Riders in period costume take part in a re-enactment of a 19th-century hunting expedition with hounds, near the village of Pionino, in the Dzerzhinsk district of central Belarus on November 11, 2016. Hunting is still a national pastime in Belarus, where moose and red deer, capercaillie, black grouse and woodcock are among the many species roaming its extensive wildernesses. Medieval festivals and re-enactments of battles, hunts and sailing expeditions are an increasingly popular feature of the country’s cultural calendar. (Photo by TASS/Barcroft Images)
