Title: The Black Sea photos of July 2007 Post by: Roman White on July 20, 2008, 10:46:35 am I was on a trip to Feodosija, Crimea in July 2007 and here are some best seascape photos of that period.
Kerch, Crimea, Ukraine (45.3*N, 36.5*E) (http://s45.radikal.ru/i109/0807/51/484997498879.jpg) (http://www.radikal.ru) (http://s51.radikal.ru/i132/0807/0c/6399d5002396.jpg) (http://www.radikal.ru) Sudak and Novy Svet, Crimea, Ukraine (44.8*N, 34.9*E) (http://s45.radikal.ru/i107/0807/77/470b1987ea1c.jpg) (http://www.radikal.ru) (http://s59.radikal.ru/i163/0807/06/e27b99f1b84f.jpg) (http://www.radikal.ru) (http://s59.radikal.ru/i166/0807/d9/0c4da2f87a24.jpg) (http://www.radikal.ru) (http://s60.radikal.ru/i168/0807/af/39c4a3ae9d04.jpg) (http://www.radikal.ru) (http://s42.radikal.ru/i096/0807/0f/1f9c32018108.jpg) (http://www.radikal.ru) Feodosiya, Crimea, Ukraine (45.1*N, 35.4*E) (http://s39.radikal.ru/i085/0807/49/5c4a66b0879d.jpg) (http://www.radikal.ru) (http://s41.radikal.ru/i091/0807/27/8fc9ef19851c.jpg) (http://www.radikal.ru) (http://s59.radikal.ru/i166/0807/6e/3df136800032.jpg) (http://www.radikal.ru) Southern Crimea is a beautiful land with subtropical climate. Hope you like these photos. P.S. I will make an another trip to Feodosiya in August 2008. Of course with my camera.

You should sell those images as postcards!. Where did you go to get the very high level shots?. Is that from a tall building?. It almost looks like it was taken from a helicopter. Those scenes are so very different from our climate here in Ireland. :)
Title: Re: The Black Sea photos of July 2007 Post by: Paul on July 20, 2008, 12:55:46 pm Very interesting Roman - thanks for posting! That's an unexplored part of the world for me but who knows, that may change sometime!

To Martin: Selling those images as postcards is a good idea but it doesn't looks real, because there in Crimea such kind of business already exists, you can buy such images on every step there :) On the first 2 photos (in Kerch) I was standing on the top of a hill, it is about 100m above the sea level and situated in the center of the city. On the photo #3 (in Sudak) there is a castle standing on a mountain at 130m elevation. From that point you can see a beautiful panorama of Sudak town and 10-20 km around. On the photo (#3) you can see the mt. Alchak-Kaja (160m) on the front and mt. Meganom (320m) behind. Other photos in Sudak & Novy Svet are captured while I was hiking around the "Novy Svet" reservation in the mountains with altitudes below 100m. Photo #4 shows a wonderful view of mt. Sokol (470m) in Novy Svet (the resort is to the left of the mountain). If I could ride a helicopter, I could have much more better images. :) Climate in Crimea is surely different from Ireland. On those days when I was there (mid-July) the daylight temperature at the sea level was +30...+35C, sometimes up to +40C (+20...+25C at night) with ~75% clear skies as you can see. And the water temperature was also +20...+25C at the surface - perfect for diving. To Paul: I have heard that you've travelled to many parts of the world. I'm curious: where exactly? The Crimean peninsula is worth to visit it. I have been there for 5 times (in summer). But I haven't travelled anywhere outside of Ukraine. :-[ P.S. When I'll have a free time, I'll make a gallery on my site, containing much more of those photos.

Now you're making me think! The Americas - US and Canada Europe - England, Scotland, Ireland , Wales, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy, Spain, Gibraltar, Greece, Czech Republic Africa - Egypt Asia - Turkey, Cyprus, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Israel, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong - very briefly en route to Australia - would love to have stayed a while! Oceania - Australia (8x), New Zealand (2x) I've also passed through a few places in the Middle East - Kuwait, Abu Dhabi and a couple of others. I think that's about it! So I have yet to get to South America and Antarctica - next year I will add China to the list. I started travelling for business - I used to work in the BBC and had a job for a couple of years providing technical support to journalists, a good few household names among them. I took a desk job after that, but I had the travel bug so I've doing it ever since! Title: Re: The Black Sea photos of July 2007 Post by: martinastro on July 20, 2008, 07:04:58 pm Thanks Roman for all the details :)
Paul, that's an impressive list of locations! Title: Re: The Black Sea photos of July 2007 Post by: Roman White on July 21, 2008, 12:12:29 pm Paul, it is surely impressive list. :)
My grandfather (he is 69) has also a nice list of his travels (15 countries) He lives in Ukraine, in 1960-s - in Kazakhstan. He had travelled to Russia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Latvia, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Morocco and Cuba. I wish to have a similar travel list... Title: Re: The Black Sea photos of July 2007 Post by: John9929 on July 21, 2008, 02:54:02 pm Roman, that sure looks a beautiful place. I love image No 6 with that volcanic mountain, look at the layers of rock!
Title: Re: The Black Sea photos of July 2007 Post by: Steveo74 on July 23, 2008, 07:12:14 pm Roman it looks like a beautiful place and the shots are great. ;D

John, almost all Crimean mountains are volcanic (Jurassic to Neogene period). Here is another photo - Karadag volcanic massive, August 2006 (10km SW from Feodosiya) (http://s60.radikal.ru/i170/0807/5f/e3a8e1eed899.jpg) (http://www.radikal.ru) Title: Re: The Black Sea photos of July 2007 Post by: John9929 on July 24, 2008, 04:42:02 pm That's a great looking place Roman, I would have a field day with all those rocks! |
