Last Year Snow was falling. It was nice and sweet snow that closed all irregularity of this city.
Nothing happening really there. Just kids falling down on peoples heads with small Chinese bombs and taxi drivers. I don’t know do they realize what they want and what they are waiting for this new year? Did they done Final Report and analysed all lessons learned logs? There is log of good willing and wishes, nice people smiling and playing but nothing happening anyway. Just like in this photos the city is in dense kissel where it’s very difficult to move or even to think. Nothing are moving and even more – there isn’t any motivation or targets.
But I think I will try to help this people to understand what they want. To help them to be organized much effective.
I would love to show them the what is aspiration and strong desire to move forward!

:) Happy new year my new life!
