Lviv, Ukraine

1916 postcard from Lviv. Not much has changed since then, except for more modern cars (and their amount).

Indian Summer in Connecticut

The most beautiful state is Connecticut, no doubt! And the most beautiful time is in autumn, when foliage colors are so vibrant that it's hard to believe the nature can actually be this bright. 

 

My first encounter with a black bear!

Had a BEARy interesting day today at the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. When we drove along the Skyline Drive there, a bear cub was waiting at the road and posed for me to take a quick shot. Then I rolled down the window and he got a bit shy and wanted to disappear, but not before I took another shot of him. An hour later, there was yet another bear at the road, at the other end of the drive. Incredible! I've never seen a bear outside a zoo or a circus.
