Cape Tarhankut - western end of the Crimea land.

Autumn was late this year. It was even later in Crimea - peninsula on south of Ukraine. I went there first week of September and if I had lost my calendar I would have thought that was usual summer days. I've never been there before, so I decided to go to the most western point of Crimea - Cape Tarhankut.


I settled at Olenevka - small village at the heart of Tarhankut - which became a "Mecca" for divers at the summer season, and which by that first September days received mostly child preschool age guests, their grandmas and romantics like me.


I could not even imagine that so much beauty, so much impressions, experience and inspirations can be so concentrated and fit to only 7 days trip. I understood it there that each moment is unique and is the endless source of experience. And that the key point is my own state, my ability to grasp that moment and "catch", "feel" that experience, my readiness to see and understand certain wisdom of life or its beauty. I'm grateful for that experience.


I'm grateful for the lonelyness.
I rode dozens kilometers on bike and met nobody. Nobody from horizon to horizon. Everywhere, only me and my breath. That lonelyness which is almost like freedom, when you can be yourself. Recommended! :)



I'm grateful for people I met.
The King of the Sky - he really can fly, and the King of the Sea who can sweem better then fish underwater. That amazing and absolutely real, free men who loved what they do, loved the life itself so much, that even could live almost all the summer under the wing of deltaplan and be happy! It is the other story about them which I tell you next time.

I'm grateful for the beauty that was opened to me.
It's difficult to talk about the beauty. Its almost impossible to describe it. But I can't stop to search for it and to try capture it, remember it forever. To transfer and to show other people at least the tiny part of that beauty, like the evidence, which proof and inspire - It Is Our Life! And It Is So Beautiful!


I updated Galleries with 29 new pictures from Tarhankut. You are welcome to see this beautiful land by my eyes :)
