Spring in Murmansk

Statue Aljosha baths in the spring sun. -
Spring in Murmansk. This view I found on the hill in Bolnitshnaja (Hospital) on Sunday 13th of May 2012. It is sad and beautiful in the same time. The garbage lies on the ground, but the sun shine is great. -
Hill of Hospital (Bolnitshnaja) on Sunday 13th of May 2012. Garage area looks like falling apart, but anyway some Dima loves his Lena with romantic heart and smile on the wall. -
Spring is coming to Kola peninsula. Beautiful Tuloma river. -
Steaming soup. Food is one of the best things in Russia. -
Shaslik barbeque for dinner. -
June is time for painting the rocks, too. Some volunteers at work. -
Beer and shashlik tent in corner of Maklakova, Starostina and Karla Marksa streets. -
I met Jevgraf Jakovlev, 84, who served in Northern Fleet of Russia since he was 14. It was World War II and also children helped in the hospital. In 1943 he started the official service and was wounded for the first time the same year. He was wounded many times, but survived the war. Jakovlev has been on pension since 1998. He lost his leg long after the war, in March 2012. Mister Jakovlev has seen a lot, lost a lot. I admire how he continues to smile and laugh. A real hero can do that. -
I found a photo of a dog and some flowers on the wall in center of Murmansk. The flowers and the photo were there, to honour the memory of a dog, which was shot there, on the street. A passer by told me, that he saw the shooting. "Some huligans shot it, because it was a homeless dog. But it was a nice dog. It never bite anybody." -
June is the time to work in your garden. If you don´t have a garden of your own, you can plant beautiful flowers here. Next to the street. It makes us all happy.
