Cold. 🥶
Very soon, autumn will be replaced by a snowy and gray winter. In Russia, this cloudy state is considered the norm, so there is always a very sad picture outside the window. This is not a frost, but a damp and dank cold. ❄️
At this time of year, I want to quickly go to a place where the sun shines and palm trees grow. But, unfortunately, there are too many things in this country that make you stay here. This is a house, a job, a school for my daughter. The only consolation is that time runs pretty fast in this routine. 🙂

The play of light and shadow.
If you connect all the components correctly, you can get real visual magic. There is a unique aesthetic in the combination of physical phenomena, and to show it, you need to do a little magic with the angle. If you add a few bubbles, the frame becomes alive. And discoloration will erase all the roughness and irregularities.
A real miracle.

Urban Geometry pt.VII
Urban geometry sets a certain pace and rhythm of life. The modern art of architecture is aimed at maintaining this rhythm. A person living in a large city should feel that he is part of a large mechanism that works without interruptions. 🏙
This photo shows the interior of one of the stations of the Moscow metro. Granite, metal and glass as part of something monumental and ergonomic. Business people seem to also consist of these elements, maintaining the performance of a large machine.

Urban Geometry pt.VI
The play of light and shadow can give a very unusual effect if you know how to find beauty in simple things. Sunlight as an abstract artist changes the perception of things around us, and for some it may seem like a trifle. I see this as an endless source of inspiration, I just need to carefully look around and keep the camera ready. 📷

Urban Geometry pt.V
Glass and concrete. Two materials that have been setting the image of modern cities for many years.
The primitive forms of corporate buildings with their elemental geometry set the order and a sense of visual symmetry. Sometimes, next to these glass parallelepipeds and cubes, as if apologizing, there are buildings in a different style.
This creates the necessary balance of cultures and genres for the city, although I still prefer strict and cold high-tech.

Someone rubbed the puree from the cloud on a giant grater. 💁🏻♂️
A rare case for my city of a successful combination of stunning sky and modern architecture. In black and white, it looks even more impressive than in color.
We were lucky enough to live in an era of incredible architectural solutions in terms of geometry, bold and at the same time primitive, stylish and at the same time simple. 👍

How much is it possible to live in a state of absence of colors? 🤔
Once upon a time, I was told that dogs see the world as black and white, and I could not understand why. If we imagine that we were born with a congenital atrophy of color perception, then everything fits together quite well.
After all, color is just a nuance. It does not affect the outlines, smells, sensations. Cinema and photography until the 40s of the last century was black and white. Now we are completely calm about the colored world simply because we do not know any other. But if you just imagine...

Urban Geometry pt.II
Sometimes looking at things from an unusual angle gives an interesting optical effect. Urban photographers should look up more often, because there is a great chance to surprise the viewer with unusual patterns formed by architectural solutions.
I began to pay attention to these details, because the structures and monuments themselves can be predictable. But everything changes when you start looking into places where, perhaps, no one is looking.

Unusual architectural forms are the norm for a modern city. The designers of these buildings set the visual tone and mood, making the cities non-standard and memorable. Bold geometric solutions sometimes surprise with their illogicality. You wonder how they manage to stand and not fall. But engineering is an exact and complex science, and therefore we have the opportunity to be surprised by these artistic oddities.

Would you like to have a personal cinema? 📽
At the height of the pandemic, I almost felt like the owner of such a thing. There was not a single person in the hall, and I could take any chair I liked. I sat down on the VIP seat and took this photo.
In the color version, it does not look so impressive, so the best thing that came to my mind was to make it black and white. This allowed us to achieve the desired effect, and the screensaver on the big screen was also very useful. 👍

Frost and sun.
A real winter should be cold. At the same time, the bright sun should shine in a completely cloudless sky. It is then that you can feel this unforgettable aroma of fresh and crisp snow, hear how children are sledding and skiing down the slides. ⛷
In such a winter, the frost is absolutely not afraid, because there is no wind, and you can always take a thermos with hot tea with you. That's what I love. 🤍
