San Francisco: From the Golden Gate Bridge to Bedroom Dancing
Urban and peaceful, chaotic and cozy, and unbelievably beautiful - this city won my heart, as did my number one in the world - Paris. I do envy the locals who can live in such beauty every day.
I can’t say I loved the center of the city with its skyscrapers, as I much preferred staying at the Fisherman's Wharf with its beautiful piers. Popular with tourists and sea lions, the Fisherman's Wharf is full of shops, silly museums and family fun.
But I preferred piers with fewer tourists as you can just enjoy your time, reading or dreaming, and feeling happy.
Ever ride a national landmark? It's being done every day in San Francisco.
We haven’t had time to go to Alcatraz Island, but couldn’t stop shooting this beautiful scenery.
It was so difficult to select just a few pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge - a technical masterpiece that can only be described in superlatives for its beauty.
My son Misha loves making portraits of me with his Olympus xz1.
From America I brought a new hobby – movie making. Enjoy this short video of my San Francisco.
Thanks to Airbnb.com we found this amazing Spencer Mansion where we spent plenty of pleasant minutes...
Living in this house was like living in a fairytale, which inspired me to make this video... Enjoy!

A Long-Short Life Called ‘Summer’A long-short life called ‘summer’ has started! The air is full with warmth, the city is storming with bright colors and at last people have begun smiling without any special reason. Summer is the most suitable season to throw out rules imposed by somebody, to stop analyzing all ‘pro’s and ‘contra’s. It is time to create and misbehave, to let yourself be what you want to be!
