Views from My Window.

One of the reasons I’ll never make photography anything more than a hobby (although perhaps a very passionate one) is that I’ve very little interest in getting out of my comfort zone. I’m not much of a photographic explorer. Throughout the years I take many photos of the same things. I don’t even do it intentionally, it’s just that they attract my (admittedly very limited) attention over, over, and over again. Car park right next to my building, my windowsill, puddles, rails, light, lately trolleybus interiors — and views from my windows. I take a lot of these, and now that it’s the end of 2011 and I’m tallying up all the things I’ve ‘produced’ this year, I was surprised to find out that this year the number is surprisingly small. The amount of photographs I took in 2011 is surprisingly small in general, though. It seems to be steadily decreasing since 2009. I want to blame it on my cellphone, but I don’t think I could.

Without further prattle, here are all the window photos that are worth sharing look better than others.

“Take some coffee coins, we’ll have a drink after we’re done shopping,” said my mother to me as I am the coins for coffee machines keeper. I still have them (and more) as we didn’t get to use them then.

Reflections, and the noses of my winter boots. I’m wearing my winter boots because they were the only ones to stay dry in such weather. I really need a pair of wellies.

All Abroad the Fail Wheel: Visiting the Chisinau Amusement Park with My Cousin.

Sunday my cousin and I went to the local amusement park. We’ve been planning to go for years, but something always got in the way.

Our main destination was the Ferris wheel. A tiny metal construction compared to all the well-known monsters, but an exciting prospect nonetheless.

 

I’ve been told it’s as tall as a 5-floor building. Somewhere else I read that it’s as tall as a 12-floor one. I don’t know. How tall is a single floor on said hypothetical buildings? The information about this ferris wheel in Ukraine (that looks suspiciously similar to the one in Kishinev) says it’s 35 m tall.
