Hello, dear friends!

This year was not easy for me, but very eventful.
I finally got divorced after 8 years of marriage, found and lost my job again, reflected a lot and traveled.
My trips have been the most enjoyable experiences of this year. That's what I'll talk about. :))
Two times this year I was in the Crimea. They were short weekend trips. But I still managed to visit the most interesting places there. Kachi-Callon - the view from there is spectacular.
Unique pink lake Sasyk-Sivash. I really wanted to see it and it's really unusual.
Mount Ai-Petri. My friends and I had a very long drive up a serpentine road to get there. But it was worth it. We were very lucky to be there during the fog.
I highly recommend to visit all these places to those who will be in the Crimea.
My full-value vacation was in the Maldives. And it's the best place on earth to come to your senses. I am very glad that I was able to be there.
The sunsets there are amazing. This place really is heaven on earth. I dream to go back there again)
Also, my own sister got married. It was a small wedding in Sochi. Only close relatives were invited. And we had a wonderful vacation and time as a family.
I really hope that these trips with the family will become a tradition for us. And we will do it regularly. Before my sister's wedding, the last vacation with my parents was back in my childhood.
I also traveled to St. Petersburg to visit my friends for a housewarming party. They finally finished renovating their apartment. We celebrated and walked around a lot.
Famous courtyards wells of St. Petersburg
Blue Mosque.
I also visited Istanbul for the first time. Very beautiful and colorful city.
From Istanbul I went to Cappadocia. And that's where another dream of mine came true. I flew and met the sunrise in a hot air balloon. It was amazing.
I almost forgot, in May I was with friends in Karelia)) While writing this post and remembering all the places - I realized that the year was not so bad.😄
All of these photos were taken on my iPhone. And all of them are dear to me as the highlights of this year
Even in spite of the pandemic this year I managed to work as a photographer at many great concerts . It's my extra job - a hobby. A business that I love very much ) That's why these photos are also very precious to me.
A little bit of my work)
Another important event for me. I worked as a photographer on a music video shoot for my favorite rock band - Bi-2. Filming lasted several days, in different locations. One of the locations is Mosfilm, a professional video studio.
It was very interesting for me to work there and see the whole process from the inside.
I think I'll end with this photo.))
Thank you if you watch to the end!
