Audrey's dance



Recent days have been associated with a lot of work, reading, various searches. My work now has two directions. The first is  University. Second - the newly opened by me and my beautiful friend Irina Internet shop with pin up, retro and gothic clothing. We named it "Cherry shop" and this is our cute logo:




Communication with customers, order processing, design of Internet space - all it takes a lot of time. But it's very interesting and I do not notice how my day flies by! Unfortunately :) Beautiful people and beautiful things - this combination inspires me to great deeds! 

However, in the evening, when I find myself at home with a loved one and together we prepare a vegetarian supper - I rest for real. My evening is now once again filled with masterpiece of David Lynch. Of course I'm talking about Twin Peaks. This is my favorite movie and I can watch it countless times. Color, staged frames, nature, characters and their strangeness - all combine to create an unreal world of dreams. Oh, how I wish one day to visit this town, to admire its waterfall and to taste famous Norma's pie with a cup of black coffee! But among other things, one of the main ornaments of this film is the music of Angelo Badalamenti. He managed to create an incredibly sophisticated musical canvas and it's an integral part of the whole. For the past few days in my head sounds composition titled Audrey's dance and I see how delightfully elegant and sexy is dancing my favorite  heroine in cafe "RR". 


So I feel like involved in the life of this strange and magical town, where evil spirits live in the forest. I'm as Laura Palmer, doing something good in the day time but at night the dark forces overwhelm me. Maybe I should go to work in the One-Eyed Jack?)

Flowers of the sea



Hello friends. It has been nearly two weeks since I made the last post. The matter is that I travel around the country located between Europe and Asia. Of course this is Turkey - a country of dervishes and flowering pomegranates. I lived on the shores of the Mediterranean sea, surrounded by picturesque rocks and exotic flowers, and every day was filled with eastern languor and  flavors of spices.


In the first days of my journey Poseidon was fearsome and we had seen only the gloomy face of him, but over time the weather improved and we had a chance to admire the azure expanse of water. Our first outing was a trip to Kaleici - the old town of Antalya. This is a magical place where old fortress walls went down to the shore, wooden ships moored and by  the cobbled streets goes the army of fluffy cats.




When we were a little accustomed to the unfamiliar country we took a two-day trip to the Mira, where we have seen the sarcophagus of Saint Nicholas. Then we sailed on  the boat to the sunken  after the earthquake antique city Kekova.



With the first rays of the sun of the second day we went to explore the ancient necropolis of Hierapolis and  the wonder of nature - Pamukkale.



Pamukkale - a world-famous source of calcium waters, which for centuries flowed down the mountain forming a white terraces. Looking at this magic impossible to believe that this is not done by human hands.






The rest of our ten-day trip we spent exploring the magnificent mountains, which lie along the coast. We made the climb to the top of the mountain Tahtalı by the longest cableway in Europe. Hovering over coniferous forests at the height of bird flight was something unforgettable. While down on the earth reigned heat, the top of the mountain was covered with snow and clouds surrounded me on all sides! Since childhood, I dreamed of  touching the cloud by my hands and so it happened, can you believe it! And the scenery we saw can only be compared with Nepal or Tibet.












Peak of our vacation was the trip to the canyon Goynuk - one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. We said goodbye to the magnificent view of the sea and set off on foot towards adventure. We walked about 15-20 km and were incredibly tired, but I don't regret at all, because what we have seen is really priceless. Mountain trails, gorges, waterfalls overgrown by ferns - it was more like a fairyland than reality.










To tell the truth, Turkey was not in my top list of countries to visit. Yes, it is famous for its antiquities and certainly I really wanted to visit places such as the Neolithic settlement of Catal Hüyük and Troy, but I always put it back on later. A real Turkey taught me a good lesson. Its nature is truly magical and I fell in love with the mountains as never before. People in this country know how to live in harmony with the world and we have much to learn from them. Turkey is bright and varied as its spices and I hope I will have the opportunity to taste it again.
