  • Ain'tP

    May 21, 2020 in Russia ⋅ 🌧 6 °C

    That ain't Mr.P😂 I was just unlucky to have gotten a yellow tyvek being dressed in which can be easily compared to sitting inside a teeny-weeny greenhouse that clings to your skin🥵

  • Hospital

    June 23, 2020 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Hoping that all what has been happening during the last few months will stay in the past and would never come back. Lest not forget those vanished in the hands of this bloody coronavirus

  • Souls

    June 24, 2020 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Human soul is like a flower - it germinates, it grows, it flourishes, it fructifies and one day it withers away. And there is unique beauty in every single moment of its life☺️

  • Martians

    June 28, 2020 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    English version of this place name sounds a little bit strange - Field of Mars. So after laying there for about an hour I feel somehow a Martian😉

  • Tick Tack

    June 28, 2020 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    For me, this beautiful photo is associated with clocks ticking. Last time I was on the roofs of Saint Petersburg 26 years ago: more than quarter of a century. Tick-tack🤭 Tick-tack🙈

  • OneNess

    July 23, 2020 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    No one can know you truer than yourself. No one can indulge you better than yourself. No one feels oneness with yourself like you🤗

  • Alyosha

    July 29, 2020 in Russia ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Quarter of a century passed since I visited this place first time in 1995, and memories like birds pounced my mind flopping their wings with carousel of scrumptious events, unforgettable people and unique experiences. Feeling blessed standing next to you, AlyoshaRead more

  • Rolling Mist

    July 29, 2020 in Russia ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Polar day falls upon midnight and the fog rolls in upon the mirrors of tundra lakes. Clock hands shrug and lift up to the sky. Nature is the biggest romantic and an unbeatable prodigy indeed

  • Everything Comes At Cost

    July 29, 2020 in Russia ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    Enjoying such a beauty comes at unbelievable cost - hordes of ruthless mosquitos and brutal gadflies. Yet, it wasn't the worst attack experienced in Kola Peninsula - a few days later we would learn it was like a gentle breeze comparing to hurricane😂Read more

  • Mystic Cairns

    July 30, 2020 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C

    No one knows precisely what these cairns are for, but I like one legend telling us about fishermen who, before heading to the sea, were leaving part of their souls within such stone cairn for not having them eaten by monstrous beast dwelling in the watersRead more

  • Teriberka

    July 30, 2020 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Teriberka is the last village one can reach by road from Murmansk traveling to the east. Harsh and austere nature makes this corner incredibly difficult to be at, to live in, yet the colours of storm approaching after a sunny day make your jaw drop and it becomes hard to breathe. The only thing you want is to have the time stopped🕛Read more

  • Vastness of Arctic Ocean

    July 30, 2020 in Russia ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    The end of lands in front of Arctic Ocean. The line between the sky and the water continues for thousand miles till it reaches Canada or Greenland. If it does. Such places are made to lure travelers in and force them to contemplate the vastness of the ocean looking for the answers one never findsRead more

  • Swimming in the Arctic

    July 30, 2020 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Can't say Arctic Ocean is the best beach destination🙈 Was quite challenging to find a place to enter the water as huge and slippery boulders are scattered along accesible shore. Water temperature is neither welcoming🥶Read more

  • Arctic Beach

    July 30, 2020 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    If you are a giant - this beach is definitely for you🙈 Jaw-dropping beauty and pre-sunset palette of shades will forever imprint in your memory🎨
