"Greetings from the North)))" ElenaKKKK's Profile


Serbian-Macedonian vacations, 2011

My first big VT meeting: Valentina's Macedonian Euromeeting in Bitola-Ohrid. Wonderful time in wonderful place with wonderful people:-)

Norwegian vacations of 2010

Spent 2 relaxing weeks in countryside of More og Romsdal region in Norway: fishes, birds and a sun (3 days- other days were full of neverending rain))))))

Vacations 2009

Fantastic Madeira and here, on the shot of webcam, saved by my friends in Ukhta I'm still there, among flowers and ocean nearby, despite now I'm here, in Ukhta and -25C outside)))

THE frost)))

-45C - December, 18, 2009: the forecast promised -52C, fortunately a bit less, but who knows?:-)

Ukhta

As I live here almost all my life, I never had idea to make a pics of it))) Now I'm feeling ashamed: a lot of wonderful things were lost - typical flowers, old posters etc...(((
Anyway there is a site of Ukhta - www.ukhta.net (available omly in Russian) - there are a lot of nice photo albums there in.
I'm genuine northern person so I prefer our autumn and winter most of all .

Pechora-Ilych national park

The Taiga
Almost virgin northern forest. Too much mosquitos and too far from any infrastructure, but to it's really worth to visit

Yugyd Va National Park

There are 2 Travelogues of my page of Komi Republic ("Yugyd Va national Park - Rough beauty" and "Some more of Yugyd Va"): the pics made by my friend on September, 2006 in the National Park Yugyd-Va (Northern part of Komi Republic). Here is my favoritet pic

Allons!!!

Charles Baudelair's Le voyage:

Un matin nous partons, le cerveau plein de flamme,
Le coeur gros de rancune et de désirs amers,
Et nous allons, suivant le rythme de la lame,
Berçant notre infini sur le fini des mers:

Les uns, joyeux de fuir une patrie infâme;
D'autres, l'horreur de leurs berceaux, et quelques-uns,
Astrologues noyés dans les yeux d'une femme,
La Circé tyrannique aux dangereux parfums.

Mais les vrais voyageurs sont ceux-là seuls qui partent
Pour partir; coeurs légers, semblables aux ballons,
De leur fatalité jamais ils ne s'écartent,
Et, sans savoir pourquoi, disent toujours: Allons!

Amer savoir, celui qu'on tire du voyage!
Le monde, monotone et petit, aujourd'hui,
Hier, demain, toujours, nous fait voir notre image:
Une oasis d'horreur dans un désert d'ennui!
---------------------------------------------------------
Allons!!! Bon voyage, mes amis!!!)))
Votre Elena))))))))
