The spring has accidentally come to Russia. In a matter of 2 weeks we lost snow, got a summer leafs on the trees and alot of birds around. Some of them are looking for territory But others are too involved in nest construction Or still waiting for ladies attention
Yes! It is cold, cold, cold! And somebody should work outdoor... Several shots from our Siberian work last week... OB VAN tests at biathlon stadium in Tumen. -35 at night -30 during the day - 25 at the sunny places... It was a real test for people and for equipment, but it was a training day for biathlon team! I do not understand this...
This year the first decade of January was a bit stormy in Europe... and in Alps - specially. Fortunately, I was able to get out from village, based on 1400m... It was a real fun to wait for road opening, re-order hotels closer to airport, and think about small opportunity to get several hours of clear sky without stormy wind to ski... Some strange creatures appeared this time in the different places - cafe's. for example, Some people was to excavate their cars from the parkings... But everything was really beautiful! Snow and mountains! Report is in the album
It became possible again to upload photos! I just loaded a shots from Croatia, showing different sides of this country - sea, mountain lakes, one of the oldest cities. All this is condensed on or near the Adriatic sea bank. Alot of tourists comes here every year, but it is still possible to find a hided beaches, not crowded villages and quite rest...
I made a big tour over Europe by car several weeks ago. It should be several posts about this event, but I want to show now just one moment... Sunset before storm in Croatia...
We live in our own world and think, that everybody lives more or less in the same way... I love opportunities to feel the life and the worlds of another people, living in different "lifestream". Today I came from 3 -day other life style experience. It was Istanbul F1 race. It was completely new for me... And it appeared, that we got an opportunity to spend one day in the paddock, feeling the internal life of this most technically difficult and famous race. Strange world, having nothing common with ordinary life... Real, but local the Maker and God. And real, but fast changing Heroes, who gave all their lives to this world. And a winner - of the Race, happy today, but nobody knows, for how long... Extra shots are in the album.
PLS look and listen to one of the most strange and unusual music electronic instruments. Quality is not too good - I made this record in Moscow Politechnical Museum by mobile phone. Player do not tuch the instrument at all. His left hand is used for volume tune and right one- for tone. There are different type of Termenvoxe, making possible to generate music by all body (not only by hands, like here in the clip). It was designed in 1919 by Lev Termen and became a very famous in the world... Time changes... Now not alot of people know this story or ever listen to this instrument.
I love this old city. I come here from time to time and see new recombination of old and new, middle-age architecture and modern arts, day and night life. This all-day-round race attracts, invites You to participate, but historical buildings around reminds about other people and other times... This is the place, where You have to know the story... ...White wall on the hill were built 500 years ago in order to give food for people (payment was 1 loaf of bread for 1 day of work)... No any other reason for construction... ...Every sculpture on "Karlov" bridge has it's own history - all this bishops, knights, saints... This city is a reminder of past and focus of future... This is a good place to think... Details are in albums:
