Champions League Cup in Moscow

In my previous post I wrote about how wonderful I spent my weekend in constant walks. But there was also one event happened to me that I decided to dedicate a separate story to it.  The case is that in frame of Tour Champions League Cup was brought to Moscow!!! Though I am not a heartful footbal fan, still I couldn't miss it.
So, well... About the event...
A big pavilion was built in the very heart of Moscow, on the Red Square. The cup was exhibited inside. In spite of enormous queues and several cordons of security I got inside the territory fast enough. Some attractions took place near the pavilion. People could make some pictures near the coloutful, painted wall or try themselves in scoring goals into the gates in form of big ball. All the others watched a group of boys juggle with a ball showing their |sport skills. I decided not to hurry and to look around and after that moved to the entrance of pavilion. The inside plan of pavilion can be seen on the official web-site of the Tour Sponsor - UniCredit Bank. It is here. The exposition inside the pavilion was really exciting. It was represented by official Champions League balls of different seasons, players forms, video... I watched everything and moved to the centre of the exposition. I reached the basement where the Cup was set. According to conditions of the exposition only one person per time could reach the Cup.Every visitor was photoed near the Cup. After that the visitor was given  a brochure with a bar-code. The photo was layed on the bar-code from PC with a special scanner so that the visitor could then enter the website of the Tour, print his/her code and get the photo. So now I am waiting for my photo in great anxiety though we made many photos too. So look and envy. And wait for the Champions League Cup in your City!!!!!

Autumn Walks in the City

I'd like to tell you that I spent a wonderful weekend walking in Moscow. Unfortunately I couldn't spend much time walking on Friday as it began raining and it was just my luck that I was without my umbrella at the moment. Saturday was quite the opposite. The weather was brilliant: the Sun was shining, the air was clean and autumn-like. Excellent! So I enjoyed my day. Below are some photos of autumnal Moscow. I think in future I'll write several posts about the most interesting places in Moscow so you, my dear readers, could get to know what Moscow is like.

Autumn Is Coming to Us

To my great pleasure I've been lucky to spend this weekend on the fresh air. Dispite of often rains the weather is still warm and it is not so muddy under feet. That's why I've preferred to walk and enjoy the upcoming autumn. All trees are covering with yellow and red foliage drawing the most beautiful season nearer to its very heart. And the most wonderful period is onward; closer to October everything that is green now will turn to red-, yellow-, brown-, vinous-coloured. The forest will be filled with all colours.... Autumn... The most beautiful season...

Fountains

On the 10th and 11th of September my native town Krasnogorsk (Moscow region) celebrated the Town's Day. Just before this event the town began preparations.  In particular the big fountain in front of local House of Arts "Podmoskovie" was encompassed with a hoarding. It made everybody wonder what was happening behind the temporary wall as everybody heard the sounds of repairing works. So, the Town's Day came and the fountaing was opened to the inhabitants of the town. By their surprise two new fountains appeared on the recent place of the old one. The streams of water plays and sparkle in the colourful lights. New benches were set around each fountain as well so anyone can sit and enjoy the sight of fountains, which are especially beutiful in the evenings.

I tnik, they are really beautiful.

 

My land is wide....

Tell me how much do you know about what is happening at this very moment at the contrary end of your motherland? Isn't it interesting to look even with one eye on what people are there, how they live and what is Nature there like?
Fortunately, inhabitants of Central part of Russia and all other people as well have a wonderful possibility to see how Russian  Far East live. Thanks to the blog of Igor Shpilenok we can see beautiful places, landscapes and fauna of Kronotsky national park where Igor works as the preservation inspector. Besides his direct duties and responsibilities he successfuly manages to post new exciting stories and picteresque photos of his own authorship telling us about life of local flora and fauna. As Igor writes on his official web-site:

"I wish to convey the beauty of wild nature in Russia's protected areas to people around the world and evoke in them the desire to conserve those areas."

Look. Read. Discover a wonderful world of Kamchatka's biggest natural park. I am sure that it will be interesting to everybody.

EquiForum-2011

Communication to animals brings pleasure. Communication with horses is a double pleasure. I've got it today by visiting EquiForum-2011 which takes place in IEC (International Exhibition Centre) on 2-6 September. The Exhibiton gathered together many organizations working in equestrian business - publishing houses, producers of equestrian equipment and medicines etc. I've found my Internet friends from charitable organization "EquiHelp" which rescues horses in trouble. Besides all that I've hugged with almost all horses on Exhibition. How wonderful they are! So kind, good and tender creatures. I've felt in love with them finally!
