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.

2022.08.31 I am sitting and almost not violating any of the prohibitions of the Hurghada airport (مطار الغردقة الدولي). 😇
2022.08.29 A majestic beholder 😎 of a majestic Egyptian sunset on a Hurghada pier.
2022.08.29 Anthology of diving figures that I know in practice: salto(-“moralto”) forward.
2022.08.29 Anthology of diving figures that I know in practice: diagonally to the water, with outstretched arms, like a “fish”.
2022.08.29 Anthology of diving figures that I know in practice: sitting with the knees tucked up, like a “bomb”.
2022.08.29 Anthology of diving figures that I know in practice: standing up, like a soldier.
2022.08.28 My response to the principle of “divide and rule” in this policy of yours.
2022.08.28 While you are wondering where the center of Hurghada is, I have found it for you, very clearly! 😉
2022.08.28 Tanned, got a cargo bike, what is not a local resident, what is not an Egyptian worker?..
2022.08.26 The Grand Port Mosque (الغردقة) in Hurghada is so-ooo big! 😊
2022.08.26 Against the background of the Grand Port Mosque in Hurghada and some kind of monument with the national flag of Egypt.
2022.08.26 Against the background of some kind of monument with the national flag of Egypt and one of the minarets of the Grand Port Mosque in Hurghada.
2022.08.26 A lifeguard on a Hurghada beach named Mahmoud and I 🤗, photographed by his smartphone.
2022.08.26 A lifeguard on a Hurghada beach named Mahmoud and I 🤙, a selfie by my camera.
2022.08.26 A lifeguard on a Hurghada beach named Mahmoud and I 🤗, my son photographed with my camera.
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.

2022.08.17 Experiments of an inexperienced self-portraitist in an airplane display: the horizontal 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.
