Actually it reminds me some Soviet modernism buildings from the 1970s, some of them had similar facade decorations, made from concrete or metal. I like the architecture btw :)

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Good afternoon to you! You're right it's a sanatorium in the small resort town at the foot of Altai Mountains. It's a really nice place to walk around and relax, not so far from my city where I ...

Thank you! As for me also nice to show my region to the people on another side of the planet!

Thank you Jacob!

Thank you, Lan! Yes, Siberia is very large and very different. I live in the southwest of Siberia, so the nature here is very beautiful and we have quite developed agriculture. In the Altai Region ...

Thank you! I like the photo forum, so I will try to post more pics from my region.

Thank you! I will try to show more, to fix the misconception about my region :)

My photos on nature near Belokurikha town close to the Altai Mountains in the south of Siberia. It was in September-October of 2020.

Good morning Giovanni! I've never been to Italy, but I know it's very beautiful place and I like moody and rainy weather sometimes. It's a philosophical question. Well China, Korea, Japan etc are ...

Yes, I have switched to FF Sony, My walking wasn't so long, maybe 20 minutes, so it does work well.

Alright :) it's quite large residential district 5 km west from the city centre, not so eye-catchy btw. It's -31C in the saturday's morning, so quite empty on the streets.

Hi. It's -29C right now. Quite cold even for the locals ;) But tomorrow will be warmer.

When I look at the photos I find that a good and sharp f1.8 lens is more than enough for me. There is nothing special in the bokeh in my taste for the price and the lens weight.
Anyway nice to see...

Try not to be so serious and rude, my post was a bit ironical. Of course Nikon has some top end equipment which made in Japan. Anyway all my Nikon gear was made in Thailand even...

I got Nokia 7.2 with Zeiss branding optics. Sorry but image quality is... just okay, as any other smartphone or even worse with the price. Zeiss branding now means nothing.

Didn't knew that they make some equipment in Japan, seriously. I was a Nikon user from 2007 to 2015 and everything was made in Thailand or China (DX, FX cameras, lenses etc). Canon and Sony have...
