I spend 2-4 hours creating one post here, not counting the process of photography itself, which has naturally woven into my life for a very long time and has become like blinking. Only the shutter of the

When the polar day ends and our endless sun begins to hide behind the horizon again, we don't get upset. After all, no less amazing sunsets and sunrises come back to us. And if the sunrise is quite difficult

As I have already said, the far north is quite stingy with bright colors. We have here the monotony of a huge space, on which there is nothing but grass, stones or snow. And even more landscaped areas,

Today is a wonderful day Wednesday, a day of walks, and in my summer schedule in the north it is a day of sea walks. If it's autumn, we'll take a walk in the mountains, if it's winter, we'll take a walk

Spending your birthday sailing for 18 hours on a musty boat to the shores of the desert and coldest archipelago to stay there for only a few hours after becoming a year older sounds like something not

When you go out to the open sea for the first time on an ordinary inflatable boat, you feel very uncomfortable. It's akin to being on a kid's bike in the middle of a highway-a complete lack of a sense

As they say, Summer is a small life. And a vacation in the middle of summer is the apogee of that life. I sincerely apologize to my regular readers, and I dare to use this word- friends here, who, I hope,

Today I dreamed of mountains, so close and far away, just a couple of hours away from me. And I woke up in the middle of the night with a nagging feeling that I had wanted to spend a couple of weekends

In the far north, in the middle of the cold waters of the bay, on a small island with the ugly name "Big Dirty", an old soldier keeps his honor watch. Either the guardian of the air, or the guardian

In any corner of the world that is washed by the sea, on a hot summer day, both children and adults dream of dropping everything and being on the coast to rush towards the refreshing waves and wash away

It is almost the middle of summer and even in our northern region this year it makes me remember the winter cold with lust and some longing. Restless human nature, always asking for what is not there.

If your sailor friend tells you, "Hey buddy, I got a wetsuit for the northern waters and half a bottle of oxygen, do you want to take a dip?" What will you answer? Think well. I thought badly

I often encounter some disappointment when I go out on a photo hunt. I think it has a little to do with my greed, in the sense that I almost always want to capture some kind of extended story. Or to display

Wednesday is really the best day for a spontaneous short walk. Everyone around is relaxing a little with work, after a stormy Monday and understands that there are still a couple of days for urgent matters.

I very rarely use black and white format when processing photos. You see, most of the year I mostly see only the white color around, in the land of eternal snows. I'm not complaining, it's fine, but in

Some of the wonders do not hide in inaccessible places, do not flaunt their rare appearance, or invent a condition to be noticed. They just walk around the world, every day, and every night, and it only

In my post yesterday, an attentive reader might have noticed that the purpose of my trip was not to chase the feathered predators of the tundra, but the seashore. Indeed, after catching my breath a little,

Lately I've been practically living on the street... don't worry, I have a roof over my head, I'm just trying to capture this summer in the northern regions to the maximum. I used to get out to the sea,

Not all historical places make a proper impression. Their centuries-old character can be lost or completely erased, depending on the environment. For example, living in a megalopolis, many of which are

With a superficial look at the summer tundra, it may seem that this place is very boring. The eye has nothing to cling to. And long walks in such a place will be very dull, moving from one green hill to
