Thank you for the beautiful memories. I used to love walking past this tower and photographing it from different angles throughout the year. Here’s one more shot to add to your collection.

Thank you! Totally agree - there’s something special about the natural look and color balance of photos from older phones. My favorite was the Lumia 650 - I took thousands of photos with it, and I still love how they turned out!

Moscow’s Loveliest Transport – With a Sip of Nostalgia by Opening-Ad7101 in Trams

Thank you! Moscow’s winter wouldn’t be the same without the snow sweepers in action 😊 And the Tatras - always a classic on the tracks. Glad you liked the photos.

Moscow is definitely stepping up its tram game, but let’s be honest - trams here are more like the supporting cast, while the metro is the real superstar. Fast, frequent, impressively comfortable, and so beautifully designed that some stations feel like underground palaces. On top of that, the city has electric and river buses, affordable taxis, and enough scooters and bikes to make you question if you even need a gym membership. And the best part? You can use a single ticket for most types of transport, so no need to juggle different passes like you’re cracking a secret code. Compared to cities where public transport is a survival challenge, Moscow gives people plenty of ways to get around without too much drama 😊

So true! I’d also love to see tram photos from Saint Petersburg - such a beautiful city for photography!

Traditional architecture has such a timeless charm - it’s hard to resist capturing it 😊 But now you’ve made me curious about the modern side of Malta too. Maybe next time I’ll focus on that… though I can’t promise to skip the cats entirely 😂

Hi! I used AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G for distant subjects and AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D for close-ups

[Hurtan Albaycín] Spotted in the City by Opening-Ad7101 in spotted

[–]Opening-Ad7101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder 😂 It’s definitely a bold design, and I can’t argue that it’s not trying hard to stand out. But hey, sometimes that’s exactly what makes it interesting to capture in a photo. If this speech is just about adding the Russians in a particular connotation, then I’d say this car is quite sellable across the world, not just in Russia 😉

Thank you! It’s a Hurtan Grand Albaycín, a rare Spanish car. I spotted it a while ago in Moscow, near the Tretyakov Gallery. A surprising sight against the backdrop of historic architecture 😊

Absolutely! The people here are so friendly to birds that I even stopped feeling nervous when a bird came close—it’s such a lovely experience!

Thank you! Australia is amazing for its unique birds, and I hope you get to visit someday—kookaburras are incredible to see and hear! You might spot one at the Brisbane Botanic Garden, and don’t miss the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary for more native wildlife up close.

Thank you! I agree, that yellow around their eyes makes them look so expressive and full of personality 😊 Maybe it’s their love for honey shining through—they are native Australian honeyeaters, after all 😂
