Hello everyone! Rimini is an interesting and diverse city. Now it is first of all a resort place, built up by hotels for many kilometers along sandy beaches. But people here have lived since ancient times and in the center there are buildings even of the 1st century AD. In general, the historical center of Rimini is very interesting. In addition, from here my favorite director Federico Fellini. "Amarcord" was about Rimini and filmed in Rimini. However, when my friends and I…

Hello everyone! I really like Muscari flowers. Small, touching, tender. Usually they are blue. But in May 2018, on a flower bed near one of the houses in my city, I saw white flowers. White Muscari resemble may-lily which I also like very much. I am glad to share with you a photo of this flower. On the macro you can see the flowers in more detail. Since these are small plants, they can not be looked at so well with the naked eye. * Всем привет! Мне очень нравятся цветы…
Hello everyone! In Rome, I was in 2013 just a couple of days in a group tour across Italy. This, of course, is very small. I hope I will be able to come there someday again. But a strong impression of the city remained even after such a trip. I remember not only the ancient Forum and the Colosseum, beautiful fountains, temples, squares. I remember this green house, unexpectedly standing out among the stone streets. Somewhere here the guide told us about the stadium of…
Hello everyone! In June 2019, I went on a cruise on the Oka. On the evening of June 16, our cruise ended. We were already walking along the Moskva River, approaching Moscow. The sky and the river were painted with sunset colors. It must be some kind of yacht club. I liked the reflection of the trees in the river in the light of the setting sun. * Всем привет! В июне 2019 я побывала в круизе по Оке. Вечером 16 июня заканчивался наш круиз. Мы уже шли по Москва-реке,…
Hello everyone! St. Petersburg is called the cultural capital of Russia. Even the usual city pigeon in St. Petersburg seeks beauty. See what an incredible window this bird has chosen for itself! I took this photo in 2017 during a short trip to St. Petersburg. * Всем привет! Санкт-Петербург называют культурной столицей России. Даже обычный городской голубь в Питере стремится к красоте. Посмотрите, какое невероятное окно выбрала для себя эта птица! Эту фотографию я сделала в…
Hello everyone! Today Russia is celebrating Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War. For me, this is the day of memory of my grandfathers who fought in that war. My mother's father died and did not return from the war. This year it's a very strange Victory Day when right now Russia is at war... I spent the day at home. I took this photo on May 9, 2018. The memorial in my city, which lists the names of the Elektrostal inhabitant who did not return from the front, where an…
Hello everyone! This photo was taken in Budapest in 2014. I always try in different cities to climb up some sort of observation platforms. It helps to present the city as a whole, it's better to orient yourself. It is very interesting to view from the height on various famous buildings of cities. But it can also be interesting to look closer and see in a completely different perspective the place or building on which the observation platform is located. This is just the…
Hello everyone! I want to introduce to you an unusual bird, that I saw at the Berlin Zoo. The bird is rare. When you look at it, of course, it is understandable why the genus was called Bald Ibis. Such dandy with tuft are a forest ibis (Geronticus eremita). It's sad, but only two kinds of bald ibises survived to this day. </td> They are found in the Mediterranean. But if in the north of Africa and in Turkey they are still found in nature, in the south of Europe there is…
Hello everyone! During a cruise on the Volga in 2018, we spent one day in Plyos. This city is closely associated with the magnificent Russian artist Isaac Levitan. After all the excursions, we climbed Mount Levitan, as the locals call it. In the foreground you can see a wooden staircase that you can climb. The center of attraction is the wooden Church of the Resurrection of Christ. One of Levitan's most famous landscapes "Above eternal rest". On it is the same church and the…
Hello everyone! April flower - crocuses. The first I saw at the next entrance. And blossoming flowers met during a lunch walk. * Всем привет! Апрельский цветок - крокусы. Первые я увидела у соседнего подъезда. А распустившиеся цветы встретились во время обеденной прогулки.
Hello everyone! Happy #Caturday! Let me introduce to you the most famous worker of the Vyborg Castle, Sir Philimon. Sir Philemon himself chose the castle for life and work. He came one day across the bridge and forever settled, having defended the territory in battle against all other rivals. Thanks to the Internet, now this red handsome cat has become very famous. He has a page on vk.com and an official blog in Instagram. His post sounds solid - the senior meow officer of…
Hello everyone! Photo from the evening walk through the Berlin district Nikolaiviertel in April 2015. The low rays of the sun no longer penetrate the square, coloring only the tops of the houses with golden light. But St. Nicholas' Church (Nikolaikirche) - the church, which gave the name to this district, looks unusually elegant. Nikolaikirche is the oldest church in Berlin. The first version was built in the XIII century. But since then the church has changed its…
Hello everyone! Sandwich with sterlet caviar. During the New Year holidays, I went on a tour of the sturgeon farm and bought a small jar of sterlet caviar. It's time to eat it. * Всем привет! Бутерброд со стерляжьей икрой. В новогодние каникулы я ездила на экскурсию на осетровую ферму и купила маленькую баночку икры стерляди. Пришло время её съесть.
Hello everyone! This beauty dog I met when I was at rest at the dacha. My friend and I went to the local market. The day was hot. Near the leaking pipe stood this black dog, catching trickles of water. I took out the camera, but the dog, seeing us, immediately left her occupation and ran out onto the path. She lay across the road in front of us. The dog looked into our eyes (and into the lens of the camera) and changed the pose. * Всем привет! Эту красавицу я встретила,…
Hello everyone! The white monument of Vittoriano in the center of Rome, for my taste, is too large and pompous. But it has a plus: a viewing platform at the top, from where you can admire the view on the capital of Italy. I was there on May 1, 2013. Pay attention, on the lower right you can see that on a wide road pedestrians go not only along the sidewalk, but also along the carriageway. This is because in honor of the holiday on May 1, blocked traffic for cars. So, we…
Hello everyone! Happy #Caturday! Kalyazin's cat. I really liked this picture in general: a nice house, a beautiful flower garden and a wonderful cat, settled on the stone. Unfortunately, I'm a bad paparazzi. When we approached, the cat lay on this stone in a perfect pose for the whole picture. But, while I took out the camera and took aim, he saw and stood up. This stretching with a bend of the back also looks good, but it was better ... * Всем привет! Калязинский котик. Мне…
Hello everyone! Now is the time for dandelions. On all the lawns of the city, these bright fluffy yellow flowers. * Всем привет! Сейчас самое время для одуванчиков. На всех лужайках города эти яркие пушистые жёлтые цветы.
Hello everyone! I have already shown a corner in the Berlin Nikolaiviertel district, where a monument to St. George is erected. Now I want to tell a little more about this monument. St. George is one of the most revered Christian saints. The most famous of his feats is the battle with the serpent. According to legend, the snake, who lived in the lake, terrorized the city. The ruler of the city persuaded the inhabitants to appease the snake - to sacrifice young men and women,…
Hello everyone! Yellow spring flowers, which, along with dandelions, now flaunt on our lawns. I don't know exactly what these flowers are. Perhaps some of the buttercups. But they are pleasing to the eye. * Всем привет! Жёлтые весенние цветы, которые наряду с одуванчиками красуются сейчас на наших газонах. Я не знаю точно, что это за цветы. Возможно, какие-то из лютиков. Но глаз они радуют.
