MY PASTELLY CITY!

Hello, hello!

No much information this time. It was pretty difficult to find any colour in the city. You know, on the post-Soviet territory is not that easy to discover anything colourful concerning architecture. I did my best! At 5am! Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for your time!

Love you!

Let's be early birds!

MYSTERIOUS BRIDGE

We didn't plan going there. The whole trip was properly planned (as usual, you know). But this place wasn't in my must-visit-see-eat list. I even can't remember how I came across it with the help of mighty Internet. Well, nobody was against so we did it. While driving to the destination point I came to a decision that I should cross the bridge. 

Left the car and made our way into the forest.

It was amazingly green and the air extremely fresh. I read that it was a park also so we were able to see different flowers and trees and bushes. But I didn't take any photo of them just because I was so excited to meet the bridge. What we see was overwhelming!

 Just don't plan anything! Just do what comes to your mind! Oh, thank you, internet, that you sometimes show me the right ad!

Well, let's continue! The lake isn't very big. It's easy to go around it. I literally was waiting for mermaids coming out of it. I wouldn't have been surprised at all.

The architecture around the lake is unusual if not to say weird. What was the purpose to build all these sculptures around, across and in the lake?

That girl is real. Not a statue!

 

 

Looks like the monster's mouth.

Well, you ask me if I did it? My answer is YES!

 It was scary! I was freaking scared! I was crawling. And the reason why I wasn't standing right in the middle of the bridge was that there was a hole so I could see the water. I thought: Well, next time! But there will be no next time. Just because my mom said that what I did was prohibited. So learn the German language, Aida!
Love you! And be curious!
PS - I haven't written any historical facts about the Rakotzbrücke just because there is enough information here in internet. Google will help everyone!

PEONY MADNESS!!!!!

Hello my friends!

Some time ago I went to a wonderful place where we had a class on bouquet making!

It was about 50 kilometers from the city. I arrived two hours earlier (don't know how it happend). The first thought was to phone my friend and help her (if she needed any help). But then I decided to explore the place. This was the first view.

Oh, my! I was so much excited! I didn't know what to do - to stop the car and walk or to take my camera and vlog?!!! What a place! What a view!!! I drove down and heavy rain began. It was magic! Everything was so beautiful!
Then I arrived to my friend (still was too early, so I could take pics)

Girls made the whole place so pretty and cosy. And prepared some snacks. And everything was so stylish. Although I'm not good at decorating everything and serving the table what I found out was that it couldn't be that hard.

They also prepared a real lemonade in a special lemonade jar. I want one home!!!!

It was a great day. And as it was named "madness" the weather was the same - rain, then sun, then wind, then everything was over.

And here is the young lady (in the hat one) who tought us how to make this world even more beautiful.

It was another happy day! And my way back was full of beauty!

At home everyone was curious about the flowers. And the smell of peonies fullfilled the whole place!

I thought about something special for tea and my family so I cooked some crêpes for them.

Let's learn! Let's see the beauty everywhere!
I love you, love you so much!!!!!

IS IT A PIER?

Hello, hello!

Have you ever tried to upload video on YT? It took me 3 days to do it! My laptop has been working for three full days. Is it what youtubers do? They don't turn laptops off?!!! Crazy!

View from the Big Wheel

Well, let's have a look at all the places that I've told you about.
Pier has changed a bit. Last summer it was free from peoples' presence. There were tractors, excavators and other construction equipment.

This summer people are enjoying themselves along the river. 

Oh, yeah, a lot of human beings

The place has fountains, benches, the trees have grown up a bit. On the whole it is a very pleasant area for meeting with your friends, enjoying the sun, the river.

There is a spectacular view of the Kremlin, the Suyumbike Tower. The leaning tower is 58 metres high.

Here are also pics of the Wedding Palace. It wasn't the better panorama in my video. So here is the view from the Big Wheel either.

Isn't it an exceptional construction for the place where couples begin their joint lives?

Well, and the last but not least place I spoke about was "KidSpace" which takes place in the ARENA Stadium.

Microbiologists

Trying to become an anchorman

Love animals? Why not to take care of them?

Let's play doctors. Pediatrician is the profession which needs a lot of patience

You are very welcome to my city! Everyone will find here exciting things to do. And I'm happy to rediscover my native city! Let's become curious and open to everything that seems familiar!
Love you!!!!!

FROM SLUM TO PRESTIGEOUS!

Hello people!

Let's have a look at everything that I told you about in my video.

Can't pass by antique doors.

   I'm not good at taking pics and worse at making videos. But what I'm sure about is that I LOVE doing both these. 

Well, these houses are not exactly the huts from the place where I've made the video. But I hope they still exist because the photos are one year old. Like many old structures they may be taken away anytime, replaced by new prestigeous townhouses, block of flats and malls. If you come to Kazan this year I'll show you these wooden pieces of our history.

Next is the Agricultural Palace. We have a certain obsession with the word "palace". Ha, ha! It isn't a palace at all. But it may look like a place for someones.

 

 As I said in my video there are offices. The details are exquisite!
Here you may see the "palace" in the evening.

I'm not sure I will be able to make such a beautiful picture.

Paraskeva Pyatnitskaya Temple

Here is the temple that is left from old times. 

And this is how it looks in the evening.

Calming...
