Photoalbum of Stanislav

To see a photograph in its actual (larger) size, click/tap it, and it will be opened in a lightbox or a separate tab.

Here you can find some photographs of me in different periods of life. It is not easy to distinguish between photos with me alone and those with my family and friends. However, here I am presented, though in my life I am rather a photographer than a photo object.

2022.08.25 The repeated attempt at photography on a Hurghada beach pier turned out to be more successful: the beauty of the Red Sea is the same, but I straightened up… in the pose of Rodin's “Thinker” (though the scuplture is hunched).
2022.08.25 Once an Azerbaijani and a Russian met and became friends, both from the territory of the former united country, the Soviet Union, and it happened on the territory of Egypt, which was friendly to it. 🤗
2022.08.23 As in the famous Christian proverb about love for the number 3, let there be the 3rd exception to my rule not to post photographs with someone in the personal photo album – a photo with this smiling Egyptian as a symbol of friendship between peoples. 🤗
2022.08.23 Another “Egyptian” exception to my rule not to post photographs with someone in the personal photo album, but for another good reason – I found a beautiful Egyptian woman on vacation and not hidden by dark clothes.
2022.08.23 There are complete prohibitions on an Egyptian beach: no diving, no fishing… 😭
2022.08.23 There are complete prohibitions on an Egyptian beach: no diving (I show you why: shallow!), Arab women in swimsuits are not allowed… 🙁
2022.08.23 In the bay of our Hurghada beach (Egypt) at low tide, it was so shallow that in the middle of it you could sit on the bottom like that and not drown.
2022.08.21 For the sake of the grandeur of the columns of the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut (in order for them to fit into the frame), I had to sacrifice my foot not fitting into the frame.
2022.08.21 Against the background of the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, I am in full growth.
2022.08.21 Against the background of the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, a close-up.
2022.08.21 I have found in Luxor a stone friend with a sad expression on his face 🙁 and I am trying to compensate it with my smile. 😊
2022.08.21 I am marking that pharaoh Amenhotep III (Amānəḥūtpū) is a cool dude. 😁 This is 1 of the 2 Colossi of Memnon dedicated to him for some reason, the southern one.
2022.08.21 For some reason, there are 2 Colossi of Memnon, almost identical, though it is even more strange that this is actually pharaoh(s) Amenhotep III (Amānəḥūtpū). 🤪
2022.08.21 I am raising a controversial question here: is the Nile in this photograph blue? or is it dark blue, like my T-shirt? 🤔
2022.08.21 I wanted to portray the famous scene from the “Titanic” movie (though it should be superstitiously scary to do this on a sailing ship), but it turned out to be some kind of cap[tain] Ali [Baba]. 😁
2022.08.21 Cap(tain) Ali Baba sails on the blue Nile near Luxor.
2022.08.21 Steigenberger Resort Achti 5* on the bank of the blue Nile in Luxor (Egypt): the path leads to a pool (on the left) and to a pier (on the right).
2022.08.21 Steigenberger Resort Achti 5* on the bank of the blue Nile in Luxor (Egypt): again, at a cafe table for the photography only, we have been fed in the air-conditioned building.
2022.08.21 Steigenberger Resort Achti 5* on the bank of the blue Nile in Luxor (Egypt): I have stepped out into the sun from the air-conditioned building for the photography only.
2022.08.21 The same mutton-like sphinxes, only now at the exit from the Karnak Temple (Ipt-swt) complex, and I am stretching between them for good luck.
2022.08.21 Me and the wall, but not the one Trump dreams of, on the US-Mexico border, but the outer wall of the Karnak Temple (Ipt-swt) complex in Luxor (Egypt).
2022.08.21 2nd of 2 photographs with the same column of the Karnak Temple (Ipt-swt) complex, a straight view to the exit of the complex (also known its entrance).
2022.08.21 1st of 2 photographs with the same column of the Karnak Temple (Ipt-swt) complex, a diagonal view towards the mutton-like sphinxes.
2022.08.21 Another photograph with mutton-like sphinxes, only now not outside but inside the Karnak Temple (Ipt-swt) complex.
2022.08.21 Gods of the Karnak Temple (Ipt-swt) complex condemn the way I am holding my hands… 🧐
2022.08.21 If I can somehow try to embrace the columns of the Karnak Temple (Ipt-swt) complex horizontally (in one of the previous photos), then vertically – that is the only way.
2022.08.21 “Karnak” – how much… is in this… stone. In general, and for the Vladimirite in particular – there was such a casino in my town until 2012.
2022.08.21 It is very difficult to identify individual ruins on the territory of the Karnak Temple (Ipt-swt) complex without being an Egyptologist.
2022.08.21 With an unidentified obelisk (not the biggest) in the Karnak Temple (Ipt-swt) complex, it seems to be next to the same Sacred Lake that is a pond.
2022.08.21 Near the rectangular Sacred Lake, which is not a lake at all, but a(n artificial) pond (with a nilometer!) from the era of Thutmose III (XV c. BC) as part of the Karnak Temple (Ipt-swt) complex.
2022.08.21 A traditional attempt to “embrace the immensity” in no less “traditional” Egypt, but for the first time in its Luxor.
2022.08.21 I used to think that sphinxes were only cat-like, but I went to Luxor I saw mutton-like sphinxes there. 😮
2022.08.21 A little tired in a long bus trip from Hurghada to Luxor (Egypt).
2022.08.21 With a friendly donkey beggar at the stop of our tour bus on the way from Hurghada to Luxor (Egypt).
2022.08.20 In the foyer/lobby of the “Zahabia” hotel (Hurghada, Egypt) with a strange wooden sculpture resembling the DNA spiral. 🤔
2022.08.20 Usually I don't post photos with someone here, but I'll make an exception, as this lifeguard at the pools of the “Zakhabia” hotel in Hurghada was friendly and asked me to find him on Facebook by name, but it was so frequent so I couldn't – please respond!
2022.08.20 An artificial cave in the cascade of swimming pools of the “Zakhabia” hotel: I am sitting in it like in an armchair.
2022.08.20 An artificial cave in the cascade of swimming pools of the “Zakhabia” hotel: I have climbed inside it and am looking out of it.
2022.08.20 Baywatch not in California or Hawaii but but in Hurghada, on guard for those swimming in the Red Sea. 😎
2022.08.20 I specially left a piece of wooden platform in the photograph (in the lower left corner) so that it would be clear from where I was diving into the Red Sea, and the horizon (above) so that it would be visible at what angle to it I was flying.
2022.08.20 Jumping into the beautiful waters of the Red Sea in Hurghada (Egypt) from a running start and with an incomprehensible aerobatic figure. 😁
2022.08.20 I am fall like a “soldier” into the beautiful waters of the Red Sea in Hurghada (Egypt); it is good that I managed to pinch my nose…
2022.08.20 I am standing on the beautiful water of the Red Sea in Hurghada (Egypt) but for some reason pinching my nose, as if I am about to fall down to the water… 🤔
2022.08.20 On an ATV I have never ridden, of a color I do not like but which is often seen in my life.
2022.08.20 #assangel in the Egyptian style means in a slightly ruined style, apparently, the fallen angel was exiled to not the best place… 😇
2022.08.20 I am pretending to be a driver of a roofed tricycle, which in Egypt is probably called something other than “tuk-tuk” (ตุ๊ก ๆ) like in Southeast Asia.
2022.08.19 Find me on “that famous” humpback bridge in the Egyptian oasis (on the territory of the “Zakhabia” hotel in Hurghada).
2022.08.19 The large swimming pool of the “Zakhabia” hotel in Hurghada (Egypt), in addition to the water slides (a piece of one is visible at the right edge of the photograph), pleased with the imitation of a gentle sandy bottom and an abundance of sociable locals.
2022.08.19 On a(n artificial?) stone imitating a coastal one, on a stone bottom imitating a sandy beach, but all this is just the swimming pool of the “Zakhabia” hotel in Hurghada (Egypt).
2022.08.19 I have heroically chosen not the scariest of the 3 slides of the hotel's water park. 😎
2022.08.19 I folded my paws as if I were giving up, but the expression on my face clearly indicates some kind of indignation (at photographing me?). 🤔
2022.08.19 In Egypt it is useful to have a patronizing pharaoh as a friend. 😎
2022.08.19 Not so beautiful and modern, but a real sailing yacht in the port of Hurghada (Egypt) was worth putting it in the frame, cutting off my legs.
2022.08.19 Of all the yachts in the port of Hurghada (Egypt) I liked this one the most. 😇
2022.08.19 I am standing in the port of Hurghada (Egypt), where we were brought as part of a free sightseeing tour of the city, enjoying the coolness of the water.
2022.08.19 Against the background of one of the most beautiful lagoons… why, a whole beautiful segment of the Red Sea 😍 aquatory in the city limits of Hurghada (Egypt), waist-deep, on the right side of the frame.

2022.08.19 Against the background of one of the most beautiful lagoons… why, a whole beautiful segment of the Red Sea 😍 aquatory in the city limits of Hurghada (Egypt), in full growth.
2022.08.19 What is remarkable here, is not how I am squinting at the bright Egyptian sun, but how funny the shadow of a man taking a selfie looks like.
2022.08.19 On the humpback bridge of the “Zahabia” hotel in Hurghada (Egypt) across a non-existent river (actually just above a playground).
2022.08.19 Whoever gets up early, an Egyptian god gives him the Egyptian sun. 😊
2022.08.18 I am confidently walking as if from the restaurant, but in fact around the large swimming pool, unaware that my son is photographing me.
2022.08.18 The horizon is completely tilted, but the pleasure of warmth, water and children with me, written on my face, cannot be broken by anything. 😛
2022.08.18 The conqueror of the stone from which “in no case it is [was] impossible to dive” into the pool. 😊
2022.08.18 Guess the country from the photograph! (Personally I would not guess. 🤦)
2022.08.18 What is called “chilling and relaxing” – the Egyptian beach is very conducive to this. 😍
2022.08.18 Someone is sailing at the sea on a luxury yacht, and someone, like a tramp, is happy to have a wooden pier with old tyres, but – most importantly! – to the sea and the sun! 😍
2022.08.18 I happily take a selfie to show not the rusty grille 🫣, but the beauty of the Hurghada Sea. 😍
2022.08.18 When all other summer vacation options at sea have failed, Egypt remains not just a default option, but still excellent!
2022.08.18 In Hurghada the sun is bright even in the morning, so the gentleman in the hat has to squint at the selfie, as it is not enough that the T-shirt is of the same color like the pool (chroma key). 😊
2022.08.17 It has become a tradition to be photographed in the image of Napoleon using inflatable pillows on international flights. 👨‍🎓
2022.08.17 Experiments of an inexperienced self-portraitist in an airplane display: the vertical orientation of the smartphone, the glance caught in the lens.

2022.08.14 Under the old but still main town bridge of Vladimir over the Klyazma River (between the main part of the town and the Off-Town Park).
2022.08.14 Am I really so glad that I found a girl's hat with a kitty that someone had lost (which I later left in the same place where I found it) on the beach of Vladimir's “Bright Park”? 😺
2022.08.14 So this is how the Miracle-Yudo Fish-Whale (from the Russian folklore) looks like! 😁
2022.08.14 Standing on the main Vladimir's bridge over the Klyazma – the abandoned river, not a great one, but green.
2022.08.13 Across an oxbow of the Nerl river there is the famous Church of the Intercession on the river.
2022.08.13 If a guy wants to be photographed with a haystack, then (on the Bogolyubovo meadow and) not in one of the poses in which girls are photographed.
2022.08.13 At the confluence of the Nerl (left) and Klyazma (right) rivers, more precisely, the confluence of the 1st river (after bathing in it) into the 2nd one.
2022.08.13 “I'm not going to jump…” – I thought, standing under the high bank of the Nerl river.
2022.08.13 A strange platform on the even side of Lenin Street in the Bogolyubovo village (for some reason in the Suzdal district, the Vladimir region, Russia) looks like it was specially made for photographing with the Church of the Assumption of the Mother of God.
2022.08.13 I am pitifully small against the background of the bell tower of the Church of Joachim and Anna (1830 – 1857) in the Bogolyubovo village of (for some reason) the Suzdal district, the Vladimir region, Russia.
2022.07.23 While someone (in pink and green bibs) is training, I do not need training and immediately work as a photographer (at a meeting of the “Torpedo Vladimir” footballers with fans).
2022.07.23 With a bus of the “Chertanovo” football school, with their “devil” logo visible on the side. 😈
2022.07.23 With a bus of the “Chertanovo” football school, the front of which shows that it is “Hyundai”.
2022.07.17 I am playing with British shorthair Nyusha through the glass – because it is safer with this cat that does not particularly like people. 😾
2022.07.17 The saber-toothed tiger seems to be hinting, “It's delicious, period!” (it is the name of the Russian McDonald's fake).
2022.07.17 I came to the opening of the Russian McDonald's fake and was seduced by their offer to earn extra money 🤑, thanksfully it is right next to my main job, the name of which is written on my T-shirt.
2022.07.16 I have rooted for my younger son, a football player, so much that have fully deserved to be photographed with his medals! 😎
2022.07.15 I was not tall enough to build su-uuu-uch “MosIgra” jenga tower but, fortunately, I have higher colleagues!
2022.07.15 At the celebration of the 33rd (!) anniversary of the “Inreco LAN” company the buffet table was so delicious that I had to grab it! 😋

2022.07.03 At one of Vladimir's former sand pits, which have become clean, but rather cold swimming pools.
2022.07.01 With an “Inreco LAN” thermocup won in some kind of corporate competition: I am sitting serious and demonstrating my winning. 😎

2022.07.01 With an “Inreco LAN” thermocup won in some kind of corporate competition: I am lying and checking if I have drunk everything. 🧐

2022.06.29 After all, protective helmets should be not only in American football (which is not football at all, but rugby), but also in the ordinary one (soccer).
2022.06.28 This (I am showing with a flourish of my arms) is the pitiful remains of the Music Pavilion in the dying Khrapovitsky Manor. 🙁
2022.06.28 The public utilities, responsible for the territory of the Khrapovitsky Manor, clearly take care that tourists develop their flexibility! 😁 🤦
2022.06.28 “100 Years of a Pioneer” – I hope one day I will be able to say this about myself, who once became a pioneer among the first in my class! 😎
2022.06.28 I shook your tree!.. 😁 or The real reason for the “Reeds Rustled, Trees Bent…” photograph in my art gallery, if anyone saw it.
2022.06.28 The inscription reads, “Greetings from Muromtsevo!” – that is, from the village of the Sudogodsky district of the Vladimir region (Russia), where the Khrapovitsky Manor is located.
2022.06.28 The stele of the Muromtsevo village of  the Sudogodsky district of the Vladimir region (Russia) is as shabby as the most famous thing in the village – the Khrapovitsky Manor and its castle. 🙁
2022.06.28 With another entrance stele of the town, which this time does not need to be named in the text – its name is visible in the photograph.
2022.06.28 With the entrance stela of the Sudogda town – a district center of the Vladimir region, Russia.
2022.06.28 If you need a saving talk («спас-беседа» in Russian means “saving talk”), then you definitely should not go to Sudogda («Судогда» in Russian)! 😊
2022.06.25 Of course, I am not an Olympian, but I have something to do with sports, more precisely, with fitness + my son is a football player, so 💪
2022.06.24 The shadow of me, who reached 100+ km of the cycling season late, on the wall of the pink 😁 “VladBusinessBank”.
2022.06.19 On the way from Gus-Khrustalny (the Vladimir region, Russia), I was offered to turn to the mosquitoes (комары) of the Lukinsky House for Disabled, but for some reason I did not want to. 😊
2022.06.19 In the gallery of the Trade Rows of Gus-Khrustalny (of the Vladimir region; not to be confused with Gus-Zhelezny of the Ryazan region).
2022.06.19 There were several wooden sculptures of mushrooms in the “Fairy Tale” Park in Gus-Khrustalny (the Vladimir region, Russia) but for some reason I decided to try to eat this one, dissatisfied.
2022.06.19 Width a wooden sculpture of another fairy bogatyr in the “Fairy Tale” Park in Gus-Khrustalny (the Vladimir region, Russia).

2022.06.19 With a wooden sculpture of an old man, either from the “Tale of the Fisherman and the [Golden] Fish” (its tail is visible below), or from “The Frog Princess” fairy tale (though I do not remember an old man in it) in the “Fairy Tale” Park in Gus-Khrustalny
2022.06.19 With a wooden sculpture of a restless old woman from “The Tale of the Fisherman and the [Golden] Fish” in the “Fairy Tale” Park in Gus-Khrustalny (the Vladimir region, Russia).

2022.06.19 In a forest somewhere in the vicinity of Gus-Khrustalny (the Vladimir region, Russia), have not found the entrance to the “Meschera” National Park. 🙁
2022.06.19 At the most unusual altar – of Saint George's Cathedral (built in 1892 – 1903) of the Gus–Khrustalny town – because since 1983 there has been the Crystal Museum in it.
2022.06.19 In the Crystal Museum – the “titular” museum of the Gus-Khrustalny town – since 1983 located in Saint George's Cathedral (built in 1892 – 1903).
2022.06.19 Saint George's Cathedral (built in 1892 – 1903) of Gus-Khrustalny (the Vladimir region, Russia) since 1983 has been housing the Crystal Museum, the “titular” museum of the town.
2022.06.19 Though it is cloudy, the horizon is tilted and the inscription stands crookedly on the embankment of the town lake (!) named after some S. N. Kovalev, but still a good water reservoir gives a town/city + 100 points!
2022.06.19 A secret message to a flower lover. 😉
2022.06.19 I have found a forest hut (a picnic house) on the way to Gus-Khrustalny (Vladimir region, Russian).
2022.06.18 You can see from my face what superhuman efforts I am making to look like a normal horizontal-bar-man on the beach of Lake Semyazino! 💪
2022.06.18 With all my appearance, I am convincingly showing that the water temperature in mid-June and Vladimir's Lake Semyazino (which is on “Yandex.Maps” is signed as “the Semyazinsky pond”) is very much not bad! 🥶
2022.06.18 Looking at Lake Semyazino (which is on “Yandex.Signed” as “the Semyazinsky pond”) is one of the few water reservoirs in the Vladimir town (Russia), which is regularly recognized as suitable for swimming.
2022.06.18 If regional aviation were developed in Russia 🙁, I would love to fly somewhere from this now abandoned airport of my hometown!..
2022.06.18 Getting closer to the planes of the Vladimir airport (!) “Semyazino” is prevented by the chain-link fence. 😭
2022.06.18 Sitting on a wheel of the hardworking Antonov An-2 (“Colt”, whose first flight was in 1947), installed as a monument at the Vladimir airport (!) “Semyazino”, where its “brothers” still (!) fly.
2022.06.13 Stone conqueror 😁 thanks to the energy of coffee (in my hand) in Vladimir's private (!) Sosenki Park.
2022.06.13 In Vladimir's private (!) Sosenki Park, I am taking pictures of myself using… a cup of coffee! 😁
2022.06.13 In Vladimir's private (!) Sosenki Park, open to the public (!) visits, far before it became the main stream to be photographed there.
2022.06.11 Behind the wheel of my own car but still on a parking; a horizontal portrait so you can see that I am really behind the wheel, holding it. 😊
2022.06.11 Behind the wheel of my own car but still on a parking; a vertical portrait.
2022.06.10 Here, against the background of the Viktor Losev football stadium in Murom, I didn't know that the legendary football player, a native of Murom, after whom the stadium is named, is alive and well, and I will take a picture with him in the 2 next years. 😮
2022.06.10 When I ran out to the nearest store for a drink at halftime in Murom and found a strange mill on stepped legs with a barrel at the top next to it. 🤔
2022.06.10 Here I am red not from shame, but because I am on the tribune of the Murom stadium named after Losev under its red polycarbonate roof.
2022.06.10 Sailing on a pleasure boat from the Murom Bridge.
2022.06.10 Sailing on a pleasure boat to the Murom Bridge, I am looking at it, very close one.
2022.06.10 Sailing on a pleasure boat to the Murom Bridge, a close-up and closer to the bridge.
2022.06.10 Sailing on a pleasure boat to the Murom Bridge, a general plan from afar.
2022.06.10 At the stern of a pleasure boat on the Oka river near Murom (the Vladimir region, Russia).
2022.06.10 Usually there are (almost) no other people in my personal photographs, but here I had to leave them – as the view from the Murom ship on the Oka is too good, especially with gulls, especially with the one that is exactly above the flagpole.
2022.06.10 A view to Murom (and me) from a pleasure boat departing from the pier to the Oka river (the Vladimir region, Russia).
2022.06.10 I am showing that the water in the Oka (on a Murom beach) on June 10 is 👍, though the facial expressions give a little away that it is cold. 😁
2022.06.10 Here I have not just discovered the bathing season for myself – in general, I have discovered swimming in the Oka (in Murom, the Vladimir region, Russia) for myself!
2022.06.10 Hands on my hips as I am the lord of all ruins 😁, including the Murom ones (the Vladimir region, Russia)!
2022.06.10 On the observation deck at the monument to Ilya Muromets with a view of the Murom embankment of the Oka, more impressive than our Vladimir region's Klyazma (Russia).
2022.06.10 I am extending a helping hand to all those who cannot climb to the observation deck of the Oksky Park (Murom, the Vladimir region, Russia) using the staircase dismantled for some reason.
2022.06.10 I am torn between the coat-of-arms of Murom (of Vladimir region, Russia – this can be seen from the upper part of the coat-of-arms) and its name on the wall imitating a fortress one.
2022.06.10 Under the beautiful and reliable Murom Bridge in a T-shirt with Vladimir's symbol.
2022.06.10 Even such a declaration of love (under the Murom Bridge) is better than nothing, and much better than the opposite… Make love, not war!
2022.06.10 Finally, “wires” against the sky do not need to be removed in a graphic editor – because these are not interfering wires but cables that are the key elements of the Murom Bridge (in the selfie with me).
2022.06.10 With one of the impressive pillars of the Murom Bridge over the Oka, when the steel cables of this cable-stayed beauty are clearly visible.
