Tour of the USA. Summer in Alaska. Kenai and Seward United States of America Alaska is a very large state. Not as big, of course, as it is painted on the usual distorted maps, where Greenland is the size of Africa. And as big as on a globe, where Africa is almost twice as large as Russia, Greenland is smaller than Kazakhstan, and the United States and Canada are almost the same size.
Bus fleet number 7 Ukraine Somewhere in the outskirts of the Kiev left bank, a unique bus fleet No. 7 was lost — the largest motor transport enterprise on the left bank. 40 years ago, our ancestors tried to implement in it the most advanced solutions that were then available in the former Union. Now he is on the verge of extinction. The highlight of the park is an unusual covered parking lot resembling a circus building where hundreds of buses once slept. Now the building is in disrepair and will soon be dismantled.
Национальный парк Олимпик United States of America The Olympic Peninsula is located on the Pacific coast of Washington and its hometown of Kurt Cobain. They claim that they do not need to be reserved at all for three months. This is still a little bit about the beauty of the Pacific Northwest (although for us it is, after all, the southwest).
Tyrnyauz GOK 2019 Russian Federation The story is short. In 1934, large deposits of molybdenum and a little later tungsten were found at this place, in 1937 the construction of a mining and processing plant began. In 1940, the plant began work. The construction was carried out according to a German project with the participation of the Germans. From February 1941 to September 1945 he was part of the Gulag, or rather, the GULGMP - a division of the camps of the mining and metallurgical industry. From one and a half to four thousand prisoners worked at the plant. In 1942 it was partially destroyed, partially evacuated.
Venice: City in a Swamp Italy Venice has never been on my wish list of places to visit. A terribly public place, as a rule, should have wild price tags, crowds of tourists and the absence of even a hint of authenticity. But everything changes when they come - New Year's holidays. And here, oddly enough, it turned out that starting a new 2019 year in Venice is a very good deal.
Journey to the Death Valley United States of America Photos from the April Death Valley I will start showing from the end :)
This is almost the last frame made that day - sunset. Next was just the return trip to our hotel in Vegas, for the most part already in complete darkness, with only one small stop at the roadside Walgreens to buy new slippers. Why the need for such a purchase arose - I will explain below.
Сопот Poland Drag into the Baltic Sea in October is a so-so idea. Here in the summer you can go in a jacket and in the rain a day or two. And even with a strong +20 and the sun, not all vacationers are ready to plunge, limiting themselves to walking along the surf line.
North Pole. Back and forth in two days. Svalbard. Norway Our rapid raid on the North Pole took the standard route: Svalbard - Barneo - North Pole and back the same way. Not standard in it was only the number of days.
The Svalbard Archipelago is the gateway to the Arctic. This is where the polar expeditions begin, people come here to see what this Arctic is.
