Hello, cookies! ;) Happy Halloween ^^' I tried to find a photo with something about Halloween, but I couldn't. So, I decided to show you something different. I took this photo when I was to Italy... to Roma. We'we walking with Mario through the center of city, we're talking about not important things when he pointed two people with a umbrella out. I thought It would be a really interesting photo... Well, I took out my camera and took a photo... Hope, you like it too! ~_~




PS: Today there was the first snow in Moscow ^^'

Yuyuan Garden (Traditional Chinese: 豫園), located in the center of the Old City in Shanghai,China. This garden is the most beautiful and finest Chinese garden in the region.

Yuyuan Garden (Traditional Chinese: 豫園) расположен в центре старого города в Шанхае, Китай. Этот сад является самым красивым и благоустроенным садом в регионе.

I love this place so much :) If I had had more time for being there I would have stayed there for a long time... Siting under a tree and drinking tea... º(^_^)º
When I was at the country I began to paint some pictures in Chinese style with fishes and lotuses, trees and mountains. I used drawing ink and rice paper. It's enough interesting :) My friend gave me a book "How to paint Chinese pictures" and I used it trying to paint. But that's a bit difficult because you don't see real places you have to imagine it. I want to go to Japanese/Chinese garden again for painting. (*´ο`*) But now I just can only watch on these pictures... Hope you'll like it too...

Heh, my best friend today passed her last exam (congratulate you, my darling)! Yesterday we were in MARHI and I was lost again! I can't memorize all halls and classes... Anyway, we took some important things for her exam - some peace of cardboard. She is an architect and she made a project of a block of flats. We printed her project at peaces of paper which have incredible size - about 2m x1m... Of course she had to gum cardboard and paper together.
It was so funny :) We went across the center of Moscow with the huge peaces of cardboard and rolls of paper and I felt like nerd ^^ So funny.
Today we went to Tanuki and ate sushi and drank sake. We told about Korean films (Can you believe it?! Kate watches Korean films!), our school and years in university which passed so quickly...

Tomorrow I'll go to my country. Well, don't be bored ^^



And yes, today I received three postcards - from the UK, the USA and the Netherlands. Two of them are hand-made. I really like back sides of these postcards but the main sizes are really strange :) Tony, a guy from the UK, wrote me a little text I really liked and also he sent me an interesting postcard - in his language ^^

I've done some colour photos too. And I want to show it too... I don't know which are better - black and white or colour. What do you all think about it?

My dear swarell, thanks a lot for this so wonderful thing! ;) I came back home and used it immediately! Mate has a really strange taste... But I added some honey and it became much better!

Дорогой мой, Вайкас, ты великолепен :)

The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortification in northern China, built, rebuilt between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire from Xiongnu attacks during various successive dynasties. The Great Wall stretches over approximately 6, 400 km from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Nur in the west.

Великая Китайская Стена - это комплекс каменных сооружений и земляных укреплений в северной части Китая. Строилась ВКС, перестраивалась между 5 и 16 веком нашей эры, чтобы защитить серверные границы Китайской Империи от нападений Xiongnu во времена различных династий. ВКС раскинулась больше чем на 6, 400 км от Shanhaiguan на востоке до Lop Nur на западе.

"Happy, happy day..."
I'm recovered now :) Yesterday I came back from my country. I was there for some days. It were sunny days, without wind and I think I recovered because of that. These days were national holidays here, in Russia. And I spent a lot of time walking and doing my house work. I watched wonderful films and I can't understand yet I finished them - they were so interesting and exciting.
I took some photos and I tried to make one with a magical effect :) I like it - a bit blurred and with warm colors...

I missed FOUR(!!!) english lessons Well, I have to do them now... See you!

1. I want to congratulate my good friend anchous on her wedding! :) Yesterday she got married! You was soooo beautiful, honey! And, you know, how people in the street were looking at you when you were getting into a car! ;) You was like an angel ;)
I'm very happy for you!
Well, when anchous send me her photos, I'll show you a couple of them... I think they have to be interesting and colorful!

I want to thank my best friend Kate. She helped me to do my hair and make-up when I had to go to the wedding ;) She woke up at 7 a.m. with me and spent more then an hour and a half doing my hair and my make-up:) And she spent a lot of time in a shop with me when I were choosing my dress and accessories. With her help we chose some Indian beautiful accessories. Thaaaanks to you, my blueberry cake:)

This is my only one photo which I took before the wedding;) It's just a wedding card.

Batik is a wax - resist dyeing technique used on textile. Due to modern advances in the textile industry the term has also been used for fabrics which incorporates the traditional batik patterns although not necessarily produced using the batik technique, silk batik is especially popular.
Batik has been both an art and a craft for centuries. In Java, Indonesia, batik is part of an ancient tradition, and some of the finest batik cloth in the world is still made there. [wiki]

Батик — ручная роспись по ткани с использованием резервирующих составов. На острове Ява, в Индонезии, где искуство росписи зародилось, батик - часть древних традиций. И, конечно же, одна из лучших одежд в мире до сих пор делается там.
Чаще всего роспись производится по хлопку или льну, следуя исконным традициям росписи, но принимая во внимание изменение моды и новых движений в текстильной индустрии, к примеру, роспись по шелку тоже стала очень популярна. [wiki]

Three more photos have been taken in Japanese Garden.

Hello! I'm here again! :) It was wonderful days I've done a lot of things!At first I passed my final exam! And now I have to do only my thesis. I met a lot of my friend and I was happy to see them. Some days ago I done "KimChi". It's traditional korean dish. For me it's too spicy because it has a lot of papper and onion. But I wanted to try it, because I always see it in films. And now i've just come back from my italian course.
Maybe later I'll tell you about last film which I've watched. It's really fanny and cool ;) I was laughing all the film and jumping up of my chair in embarrassing moments and stoping the film... I really worried about a main hero, his dream and his ability to jump ;))))
But now I want to show one of my favourite place - it's japanese garden ;) I have many photos which I took there, but I haven't a lot of time for doing all photos... And I'll show you one of them. Hope, you like it... ^^

Это одно из самых красивых зрелищ, которое мне довелось увидеть в жизни:)
Охота белоголового орла. Можно было смотреть часами на этих кружащих в воздухе гордых птиц, то плавно парящих в воздухе, то стрелой кидающихся вниз... Вообщем, комментарии тут излишни:)
Снять старалась как могла, но это на фотках почти нельзя передать. Да и погода подкачала... Пока ехали на лодке - боялись пойдет дождь.

Попробовала снимать с отражателем ( sarsmis , спасибо!). У меня сегодня появилась дома вот такая вот прелесть :) И пусть, что на улице темно - запечатлеть очень хотелось. Надеюсь понравится!

Well, today i've taken photos with a reflecting screen... This flower is new and i wanted to take some photos with it, in spite of evening. Hope, you like it ;)

Не могу не поделиться :) Этого челобречка я знаю с 1 класса начальной школы ^^
My friend ;) I met her when i was a child. She is my classmate ^^

Как-то у меня сегодня не клеится делание фотографий. Час пыхтела над 5 фотками, так и ушли они в корзину... Разучилась из рава в джипег переводить :)
А потом еще пыталась полчаса зайти на почту... Пароль забыла. А оказалось лишний пробел намутила, когда набирала название почты... Вообщем потом решила заняться  любимым cover' о деланием и успокоилась ^^ Еще два диска к стороне.
А вам - вот картинка, сделанная в Китае - территория нашего отеля. Это небольшой SPA центр, расположенный посреди великолепного сада. Народа там обычно не было, потому можно было снимать спокойно.  Relax :)))

I can't edit my raw photos today! I spent one hour doing only five photos! But after i deleted all... I forget how to make jpg from raw... :(  And today i couldn't open my e-mail. Because i forget my password! Well... I was so sad and decided to make some covers for dvd relaxing...  Now all is ok)
This photo i took in China. It's small spa-center in our hotel. It's inside a beautiful hotel's garden. Not many people were going to this spa and i could take my photos calmly...

Недавно нашла несколько работ одного фотографа. Они произвели на меня какое-то неизгладимое впечатление. Нереальное... Удивительное... Необъяснимо захватывающее.
Автор этих работ: молодой человек из Индонезии - widjita. Если понравится, можно зайти на его страницу - ТУТ.

Some days ago I found one man who take wonderful photos. These ones are amaizing. Unreal... Fantastic...
These photos were made by a man from Indonesia - widjita. If you like, You 'll be able to go to his personal page - HERE.

UPD: Нашла еще двух человек, снимающих в подобном стиле - ТУТ и ТУТ.




( + 3 shots )

Встретились сегодня с подругой. Решили сделать немного суши... Как же иногда хорошо посидеть, смотреть "Достучаться до небес" и кушать наскоро сделанное японское блюдо... Потягивать портвейн и чувствовать тепло, разливащееся по телу...

Today i met my friend and we decided to make some sushi. It was so fantastic to sit in a armchair, to watch "Knocking on Heaven`s door", eating sushi, drinking a port wine and feeling a warm of this wine inside...
