Hello everyone! This year we have a very snowy winter. On rare sunny days on white snow, the shadows turn blue. I always admire these shadows on the snow sparkling in the sun.</td></tr> Look at how beautiful and at the same time funny shadows turned out from the bushes. The snow on the branches lingered in separate balls. And you can see it in the shadows too. * Всем привет! В этом году у нас очень снежная зима. В редкие солнечные дни на белом снегу тени получаются голубого…

Hello everyone! Plyos is an ancient Russian city on the Volga. He inspired many Russian landscape painters, beginning with Levitan, to create magnificent paintings. Rising on the hills and admiring views of the city and the Volga, you understand artists. You admireing and wanting to share these views with everyone. Just a sunset in Plyos, photographed from a high shore in June 2018. * Всем привет! Плёс – старинный русский город на Волге. Он вдохновлял многих русских…
Hello everyone! My photo for the #BlueFriday In the last New Year in the central square of our city the trees were decorated with large luminous balls. I always admired them when I passed by. On occasion, I went to take a closer look. On one of the trees the balls were not shining and it was possible to loock in detail how everything is arranged. Unexpectedly in the picture, these non-working balls turned out to be quite interesting. In the blue hour everything becomes…
Hello everyone! I already talked about visiting in 2015 a chocolate house in Berlin and showed one of the cakes. Now - the second cake, ordered in the famous Berlin chocolate house Fassbender & Rausch. This is familiar to many tiramisu. Decorated, of course, in the style of the famous institution: completely covered with chocolate. Delicious. The menu tells a bit about the composition of this cake. * Всем привет! Я уже рассказывала о посещении в 2015 в Берлине шоколадного…
Hello everyone! I live in an industrial city that arose in the 20th century. Maybe that's why I like traveling so much in cities where old history is felt and the old architecture is preserved. I do not have enough. A lot of fun I got from walking around the Austrian city of Graz in 2011. Graz is a large city for Austria, the second-largest city and the capital of Styria. It is a developed industrial and student city. At the same time, the historical center of the city was…
Hello everyone! We were very lucky with the weather during the cruise along the Volga in 2018. It was possible to sit endlessly on the deck and admire the banks around and the clouds in the sky. I especially liked it when there was such a multilayered picture in the sky. At different heights different types of clouds. * Всем привет! Нам очень повезло с погодой во время круиза по Волге d 2018. Можно было бесконечно сидеть на палубе и любоваться берегами вокруг и облаками на…
Hello everyone! The split of Vasilievsky Island in St. Petersburg is the place of a biker party. Motorcyclists meet and communicate here in the evenings. And if you do not have a motorcycle, you can just stare on the vehicles of the assembled people. In the parking near the rostral columns there are a lot various motorbikes. The interested look of the passer-by speaks for itself. I made this photo in August 2017 in a warm summer evening. On the split of Vasilievsky Island…
Hello everyone! One of the wonderful evening scenery that we observed from the deck of the ship on a cruise along the Volga in 2018. I could not stop admiring this night after night, when the water caught the glow of the sunset, and the sky grew darker. * Всем привет! Один из чудесных вечерних пейзажей, которые мы наблюдали с палубы корабля в круизе по Волге в 2018г. Я не могла налюбоваться этим ежевечерним зрелищем, когда вода ловила отблески заката, а небо становилось всё…
Hello everyone! I photographed this staircase in the Museum of Russian Impressionism in Moscow. This is a new museum, it is open in 2015. In recent years, Moscow has been reconstructing various production facilities that once were on the outskirts, and now it is already the center of the increased city. Confectionery factory Bolshevik was also transformed into a modern cultural and business center. The building of the mill's mill warehouse was rebuilt for the Museum of…
Hello everyone! I saw this scene in Florence in front of the House-Museum of Dante Alighieri. 700 years have passed and Dante looks at the evil demon from Hell Farfarello right next to his house in his native Florence. The house of Dante looks convincingly ancient, but it was restored in the XX century. The question was studied carefully and, it seems, restored the house in the very place where the Dante family lived. But the tour guide assured us that pavement was preserved…
Hello everyone! In the park Oranienbaum, where I was in 2017, I saw a lot of beautiful and interesting things. Unexpected for me was to see there a beautiful deer - fallow deer (lat. Dama dama). The menagerie existed in Oranienbaum from tsarist times. There were mostly deer, foxes and hares. Under Petr Fedorovich, the menagerie was for the hunting fun. Lani is historically a favorite object for hunting. Now they revived the open-air cages of the menagerie in the park and…
Hello everyone! In March 2014, my friends and I tried siphon tea for the first time. The construction of glass flasks in front of the waitress Natasha - a tea siphon - a new-fangled and very effective device for brewing tea. The whole process looks like a magical bewitching action. Water, heated, passes into a flask with tea leaves. The water does not boil, but due to the continued flow of hot air, the tea's leaves circle round in the flask. At the last stage, the burner…
Hello everyone! The windows to the west are a great opportunity to admire the sunsets. But sometimes the sun so shines to your eyes that you close the curtains. And the cacti on the windowsill, illuminated by the setting sun, give a strange shadow. I think it looks pretty interesting. * Всем привет! Окна на запад – это прекрасная возможность любоваться закатами. Но иногда солнце так светит в глаза, что задвигаешь занавески. И подсвеченные закатным солнцем кактусы на…
Hello everyone! Moscow is now beautifully decorated for all the holidays. I remembered a walk along the New Year's boulevards in the center of Moscow in January 2018. There was no snow, but bright and colorful decorations created a festive mood. On Tverskoy Boulevard I liked the colorful lighting of trees. Even the bare branches, painted with light red-blue-green, look very bright, spectacular and festive. * Всем привет! Москва сейчас красиво украшена ко всем праздникам. Я…
