This is a post to go with #ReflectionHunters challenge by @olgavita Round #211. Stumbled upon this cool mirror in the shop - the shopping point of view. 😎 location: St.Petersburg, Russia March 2025 natural

Three days ago, walking outside, one could see only green grass (or a brown blanket of last year's dead leaves) - you had to look carefully to find some dirty melting snow! We even ventured into a little

In this post I share a selection of ten photos from the March folder from recent walks created with my Sigma macro-telephoto lens. This morning it got colder and it snowed again, it snowed all day, and

This post goes for 'Show me a photo (of a bird)' contest, round #209. Week had no specific topic given, so I decided to share some very fresh photos I made last week, on a walk at Central St.Petersburg's

Everybody knows - diamonds are girls best friends... ...well, not until they are fake ones, like these (Mother Nature shaped them from ice and snow, and they slightly ephemera). The last snow slowly melting

Greetings, Hiveans. A bit of oldies, a bit of modern names. This time my iphone produced a tracks transition that does not look monumental, but provided some names/titles that you may find unknown, and

This evening my wife and I went to celebrate Maslenitsa, and on the way back I made two brief stops to capture the design of Underground stations "Sportivnaya" and "Zvenigorodskaya".

When #hpud came around on February 1st, I certainly didn't miss it, but I put off publishing my follow-up post for a day or two. And then the wheel started spinning faster and faster, and it kept pounding

This week I wanted to refresh myself - and I dusted off my manual Zenitar 16mm fisheye lens. It certainly has many downsides, but on the other hand there are also several undeniable advantages (which together

I have a large folder at my HD entitled 'klezmer+balkan beats' - this sort of music is forever in my veins. There are a lot of bands acting in this field (I did not explore them all, stopped after I discovered

Nine photos I want to present you I captured on not-so-sunny day last December. The sun was pretty low at the horizon and gave some splendid shadows to everything, even the tiny ice shards.

The picture I captured today just looking out of my window. Almost a drone angle of view, upside down. 😜 Love this feeling of little chaos, mixed with excitement of preparations and anticipations.

I love time travelling, and what about you? A little journey in time today back in May 18, 2024. There happened an Annual Book festival which I wanted not to miss - especially since it took place at the

Picasso had a pink girl, and I gravitate to paint it black to color the world in extra blue. I wonder which version of her portrait you'd prefer - color or black and white? She did not pose and did not

Today is Tuesday, and I want to entertain you with another #threetunetuesday blog. Lets look back at #retro, some soviet epoch music accompanied with fantastic visuals from black and white movies of silent

This Saturday became a Caturday. See, we dont see much cats around in winter... We planned a little shopping. On the way back home my daughter suddenly stopped and fingered at this chocolate green-eyed

Today I present you two frames from a series of photographs I took last December in the city center. My companion all of a sudden felt an irresistible craving for snow, and almost turned into a snowman

I have a huge collection of letters and envelopes accumulated thru years. A little bit belong to my family and ancestors, biggest part is a showcase of my correspondence activities in the 2000s (in the

Could be the Japanese Stone Garden under the Snow (with those sticks as a substitute to the stones which are unaccessible from the snow). You name it, but I am in love with this capture so much.
