A fortnight in Zhiguli

Hey Alex, this looks like a very relaxing place for a vacation...it looks as if the weather was kind to you...we are having one of the coldest Winters for over 20 years here in Sydney. Our Winters are usually very mild but yesterday morning we had ICE on our car....very unusual for us as we live on the coast and I have NEVER seen this before, where we live....I know it's nothing compared to Russian Winters....We will be having this cold Arctic blast for at least another 3-4 days....brrrrrrr!

Oh Helen! That winter in Samara was very mild - smth. like 20-22 minus C and last January the temperature fall below -37 C(-34.60°F)! My Daewoo Nexia refused to work for a week because oil was frozen and some cherry trees and flowers in my garden freezed. Alex.

Hello, Alex, from Moscow!I've never been to Zgiguli but always dreamed to visit. Beautiful nature, butterflies, bugs, dog and cat. Thanks for the virtual tour! I don't know if a slide show regime counts as photos views and rates your album. If it'snt - please tell me and explain what is a view of photo and what does a download mean... Пока не очень понятно как формируются рейтинги и индексы. С трудом верится в сотни тысяч просмотров и тысячи загрузок чьих-то фотографий возглавляющи� � топы по тематике. Неужели это так? У меня на рамблерележа� � кремлевские фотографии пол-года и не имеют столько просмотров, сколько здесь за две недели... Спасибоб Сергей.
