In front of hotel are Eucalypts and Camphor laurels! There are lots of evergreen plants and trees, so even in winter city looks green, alive and bright)))

yesterday...

I took few very beautiful photos tooday... the weather was great... but somehow i forgot my cam at my friends home... So i post a picture i made yesterday while was waiting when rain stops... You can think that it is bad quality (i use my phono-cam), but it is besause of rain... NB yucca is in blossom... there are a lot of yuccas in Sochi :) i think it looks great all in flowes when it's not warm any more...

getting colder and colder...

View of mountains... peaks are covered with snow now...


There was huge sleet... not so cold for such weather.... it was about +10, but very wet and unpleasant...

Krasnaya Polyana

ski mountain resort... 01/12/2006 open season for skiing starts!

sunset through trees

i'm sorry that i don't post pictures everyday and dont comment other blogs... i'm very busy...

The day of bankers in Russia

Almost every profession has its day!

The day of bankers is special, because i wort in the bank... so tomorrow we will celebrate it =)))

I think the picture of money is very convenient...

1000 rubles:

= $ 37,5

= € 29,2

Lenin

i know it's not a good picture... but its everything i've done today... Almost in the center of Sochi there is big monument of V. Lenin... maybe i don't like Lenin, but monument itself is very beautiful, it shines on the sun rays))) there are also bananas in front.

in many Russian cities monuments with Lenin were unbuilded...

weather was bad... rain....

beautiful day...

First photo - bank of the river Sochi... maybe i will take a picture of river itself, if the weather will be good tomorrow.

Behind these trees there is Dagomiis - one of Sochi's districts... I have just understand how many trees grow in Sochi... especially along roads to protect houses from noise and car's exhausts...

My niece Xenia painted this picture))) I like it)))

photo on my way home...

Cold and windy evening...
