Travel Tips

This pic makes me sad.
She left me a bit more than a year ago. Her full name was Nadija (ukrainian) or Nadezhda (russian).
People say we are much alike.
But the truth is that she was much more beautiful than I am. The pic below proves it easily.
But my sense of humour, noticed quite often at VT, is her heritage.
This nice horse is our family relic, it is more than 50 years-old. My uncle and my dad played with it when they were children. And it still amazes kids at our countryhouse.

Gorgeous pic. I heard that the highest professionalism in photography is making black&white pics, not colour. Black&white photoes have some "spirit", it's said. Maybe. I tend to agree, I feel that way too.
Here is my grandmother in her 20ies. I always liked looking at her photoes. This one is my favourite.

Only 60km from my flat. The place is very nice, I like it. It is one of my best relaxations.
The only negative side is that time flies so quickly there. Week-end rushs like TGV. Well,,, all the good ends up quickly.
It is my small wooden country house where we spend week-ends, make bbq, sunbath&swim in summer and gathter mushrooms in autumn.
We have a big "samovar" there and one of my favourite occupations is.... hihi,, cutting woods. No, I'm not superman, not even superwoman (snif snif) and usually I but little wooden chips for samovar. The "samples" for my cutting are prepared by my dad. :)
