Sari's photo blog: Summer in Murmansk 2014

Hotel Arktika will be open again in 4th of September, they promise.

Shopping center under reconstruction in Fools´ Hill, or officially in Eastern suburb.

Barbeque po-russki, that is shashlik. Nice summer day at lake Semenovskoe.

Amusent park and fun at lake Semenovkoe.

Colourful sweets.

Maria and Aleksei opened a fresh bar in shopping center Severnoe Nagornoe this summer. They make healthy and tasty smoothies from veggies and fruit. Next to their fresh bar will open a McDonalds restaurant, the advertisement says.

Ship cemetery.

Modern historical sights.

My friend Anna from Finland came to Murmansk for holiday. She sent some postcards for her friends and relatives.

Husky beauties in the stable.

At the stable.

Violet season in Murmansk. And red fancy car season.

Where is my home? Homeless dogs searching for home with a little bit of a help from volunteers from the organization "I search for a human" (Ищу человека). Alessia tries to find a home for 6-month old Tor. He was found with a wounded paw, but it was not so serious. Now he lives a healthy life. Only a real good home would make this summer perfect for him.

In September 2014 Murmansk region will have election for governor. So summer is time to begin the campaign.
