Modern living - an antiutopia?

Most of the city of Kyiv is not a very comfortable place to live. People reside in high-rise apartment blocks.


Some time ago I visited my friend (AKA Miner), at his place. He lives with his family at the 12th floor.

We had a walk in the neighbourhood, talking about the prospects of humanity.



And about the impact of such urban environment on human beings. We stood in front of the tallest residential building in Kyiv (35 floors) and I felt that living in shade of such gigantic constructions, people might get used with a thought that they are really tiny, minscule and easily neglectable.



Can you tell the last picture is taken from the height of the 12th floor? One might think that some demonic forces stand behind such city-building concepts, but it is a simple human stupidity.

How to fight depression

They say exercise is the best way to fight clinical depression. So I got me a bike.



I followed a path in the woods to check my new bike's performance. The bike proved great indeed, but the rider certainly needs some practice. I almost fainted after the first few meters.



I came across this cute little lazy creature that humans call turtle. And then, another one. No I mean really, when was the last time you saw two turtles in one day?



And this is a panoramic view of my neighborhood, from the nearby woods. I promise to myself I'll do it more often.

First swim of the year

Beach umbrellas are like flying saucers.



Thistle makes great thistle-pie.



May the 25th is the first summer day.

Summer is here....

(...but maybe for some of us the heart is still in winter!)

Bird invasion

(or I think I’ve kept the eggs in the kitchen for toooo long)

Today I woke up by some strange noises coming from the kitchen. I decided to check it out and I realized I had two early morning visitors.



It seems that my balcony is not enough for them, so these f%&^ing birds had to take a shit on my refrigerator as well.

Enough!!!

This post is a challenge to the scientific community to invent something that can replace pigeons…even though I’m pretty sure that these dumb-flying-rats are pretty useless.
