Was browsing in my folders of photos today. Suddenly i found a few interesting moments which haven't been published yet. Let's do it! Please, give a round of applause to pics made in our dear Pune and some comments to them from my side.


Number 1: 'Tribute to the science'. A monument to Newton in Kumar City, Kalyani Nagar. The area is all about 2-floor houses, owned by top management of various companies with Mercedeses in the garages. And as far as you can see, they respect science also. Or, as Dan Brown has already mentioned in his 'The lost Symbol' a lot of mysteries and secrets are connected with Isaac. Who knows, maybe this part of Pune knows one of them:) Or maybe it's just a sign for the guests: 'Beware of falling apples', or even papayas, which seems to be grown in the yards of some of the houses.

 
And we continue the tour and find an exhibit number 2. Codename: "Snow boots under a palm tree." This happened when I had the time and accidentally found warm winter boots at our friends house. Yes, it was around mid-December, the snow was falling in Europe, in Britain all airports were being blocked because of it . In Pune we had 25 degrees above zero during the daytime (you could actually take a sunbath on the roof ,if you do not care what the neighbors would think). So, camera was also there, let's welcome them on the stage.



If we had start to talk about winter and the holidays i have an easy question : what is one of the most important elements of the holiday season? Some people call it 'winter beauty'. Yes, the Snow Maiden(for russian-speaking countries) is a correct answer, but here i ment just a Christmas tree (There were even some poems and songs devoted to it.) For me it was a pleasant surprise to come across in front of a supermarket(Lifestyle). Have a look at number 3: "Winter beauty in the heart of the city".
And another interesting thing that has turned up. Everybody has something he belives in. And each country has its own superstictions and protective symbols, upside-down horseshoe, for example. One of such elements i've observed in Pune also. Exhibit with a number 4: "Eco protection". The main part of a talisman, is a pepper, not simple, the chilly one. And not one piece, but a lot of them. More peppers you have, the stronger is your protection. It ends with a lime, well i have no idea why. These things you cling to your vehicle, starting from the 2wheeelers. Definitely on back of it, the forces of evil should seen your protection. Those, wishing to buy such talismans, are kindly requested to ask little beggers at intersections of the busy roads and traffic lights. For the 'good price' of 10-100 rupees (That's depending on the color of your skin and the ability to bargain) precious defense will start its pure magic on you. If you are interested - write to my mailbox, i will provide mass suplements.

That were the results of the random search around the stock of photos. About the news from my side? we are at home. Today i suffered from 'no skype' desease, because it refused to work. Perhaps the same diagnosis could be said about another 25 million people around the world. Also i've found a couple of interesting sites that are worth going through. For example http://wip.od.ua/best-logos-2010/.
