feeling relieved

 

Everyday I walk through the front of the station “Чёрная Речка(Chernaya Rechka)” and I see this strange animal. When I see it on the way back home, somehow I feel relieved.

Play

 

The first time I saw something like face on the surface of a tree, I thought it was by chance. As I often saw these faces here and there, I was sure a kind of play in snow.

The favorite one is below. Children treat this mysterious animal when its legs or tail suffer.

Kronstadt

 

kronstadt LISA SOMEDA

Kronstadt is a small town in Kotlin Island on Gulf of Finland. So it was a fortress, it has been filled with moat.The residence of NCCA is located on there. It takes about one and half hour to go to center of St.Petersburg by Marshrutka(k-405) and subway.

By the way, color of the light was really like this photograph. It was the first time for me to see such a blue world.

Snow

 

Even though temperature had dropped at -25℃ in January, it was around 3℃ and I could see almost no snow when I arrived at St.Petersburg.

It was 5 days after my arriving when snow falled.
