Caucasus: Arhyz, Wild Beauty, Extreme, Travelling








This weekend I spent in Arhyz, western mountainous area in Caucasus.



This region contains green, covered by pine-trees and beech-trees forests mounts and hills, reminding Italy and Bulgaria.



Also, it has vast areas of rocky mountains




Icy lakes



and green rivers. This is Zelenchuk river.



The root the this name means “green”




Strong, wide and wild;








its color contains both sky blue and emerald-green shades




…like the color of my eyes…

The road to Arhyz is in very good condition.



You can race there, at 100-140 km at curves, as there are no cars on weekends there.
This time the only obstacle on the road were






herds of horses and





cows


Shepherds are taking them




on alpine pastures for the the summer period.



Pine trees





and wild flowers





Thyme in the wild



are emanating incredible smells of paradise, health and wild love…


This is wild geranium

Several years ago I planted several roots in my garden




Are’t they beautiful in my favorable flowerbed?

Arhyz is rich in berries







Local population prepares all sorts of jams with berries




This green marmalade is made of young and soft pine cones. They give you power and best immunity





This is the new ski resort in Arhyz.






It had been built for two years under the supervision of Vladimir Putin,



President of  Russian Federation




  
On the way home I stopped at wild poppies fields



Several minutes of staying there, took all fatigue away



After  hours of driving from this beautiful land.




How did you spend your weekend?



With lovely wishes,

Family Anecdote







A just married couple came home after the luxurious wedding ceremony.

The happy husband told his charming wife:

H: Sweetheart, I have three conditions for you and our successful marriage.

W:  Yes, darling, what are your conditions?

H:  First, every Friday we play football with friends, no matter what is the weather like. Second, every Saturday, we play poker with friends, irrelevant to family guests, holidays or plans. Third, every Sunday, we go fishing with my friends. Do you understand my conditions, my dear?

W: Yes! – smiled his wife.

H: Do you have your own conditions? What are they?

W: I have only one condition. Every evening at 9 o’clock I have a passionate sex, irrelevant to your presence or absence at home.




Funny situations are everywhere! Just open your eyes and enjoy them with humor,

Smiling,
