View from Drone
My new hobby is flying drone. Drone gives you new point of view. It’s really cool to climb a tower that standing on the top of the hill and take pictures from the that tower. But how about take picture of the tower itself? This is Mohonk, NY. Then you can go to a trip with a tent and stop by a lake. Lake can be very beautiful from the top. And the most beautiful lake in Michigan – Lake Michigan! 😁

Back to the Future… or how I returned to film roll again.
At one time I was glad that digital photography became available to me. I bought Nikon D3100 a budget DSLR camera in a kit with a Nikkor 28-105mm, AF lens and that was enough to create a family photo archive “for memory” and for my own development in this challenging area of creativity. Over time, automated settings became annoying. They did not give me the opportunity to express what I wanted – the way I see certain moments in life did not coincide with the resulting photo. Then I decided to find a good course in photography in order to understand the intricacies of the technical stuffing of the camera and, perhaps, to…

To Scandinavia by Car
Travel to Scandinavia. Preparations The road and the boarder The dog Camping sites Culture and life Summary Before the trip, it’s worth to calculate everything ahead of time: expenses for food, housing, transportation, etc. You need to build a route and find places for overnight stays, calculate the time between the points and the time that will be spent on sightseeing.

In our family, it turned out that Nadya is involved in…

The architecture in Totma has its own style. Churches were built by rich people and in the act of championship – to build the most beautiful and interesting building. Those rich people mostly were traders. They get their fortune by selling fur. They traveled by ships and the marine theme was converted to the architecture style – the churches were made look like ships. Also Totma churches have specific cartouche style. They are not glued to…

A trip to Vytegra
A trip to Vytegra was one of the most interesting trips we’ve had. On the way to Vytegra we passed the forest. It is actually true that the whole way was through the forest. In the middle of the road we turned into the woods to take a break. It was a lovely sandy road among pines. This is an old lingonberry from the last season. Here are the flowers of lingonberry. This is a huge pine! Then we came to Vytegra. The most interesting place there is the museum of a submarine B-440. The museum was nicely organized. Getting the orders! 🙂 Kingston – this is kingston valve that fitted…
