Hooray, the New Year?

Review of the campaign in the Crimea The northernmost Demerdzhi New Year 2013. Author: Vladimir Lukyanov. Rating: 4 At 12 o'clock we reached the southern slope Demerdzhi and watched the valley flew up fireworks. Glimpses of outbreaks across the rolling valley and hit a wall of mountains. With our height was even impossible to understand or take off flame erupted from the ground. And we had some vodka to warm, fat and one mandarin. Night. Black Sea coast. Height of 1200m. That's how we met in 2013.

Morning. Walking in the fresh air all day, pretty good exhausting, and the morning is the hardest part of the day. Have to pull out myself out of bed and get to go to the street. And there's cold! Movie about zombie resting compared to this morning.

On / Railway station, we were a little later the agreed seven. But even more, and half of the group did not come. Dismantled provisions, equipment and waited all tourists. Interestingly, most of Russia. And about somewhere this is the time to remember a piece of smoked bacon, which we apparently now gave the cleaning lady at the hotel.

The full collection, we took a bus. Yes, yes, it is a bus. On route Simferopol-Alushta, stretching about 40 miles through the mountains. You go in the bus, and outside the forest!

Took about 40 minutes drive to the pass. Get out of the trolley in the mountains, in the woods :) Who would have thought?

From here on the mountain upward and forward. Demerdzhi waiting.

01. There somewhere ahead into the stones.

02. I look and like to go far, and in fact to walk very quickly.

The first rest. All in the business. Let's begin to get acquainted.

03. Eugene - our guide, carrying water for tea. He lives in the Crimea. I envy on-white. Can also retired moved to the Crimea? :)

04. Anya. A fire. Flint. Cool of course, but, as shown by practice is ineffective.

05. Oksana. Invited us to St. Petersburg, and there to close Karelia. I think we somehow take advantage of this offer.

06. Ivan. Our silent companion. Just a couple of people will present later, when they appear in the photographs.

07. This picture describes our entire trip. Yes, yes, that's how we walked toward the sun.

This hike was walking. Therefore, there was almost no time to stop and think on a snapshot, wait lighting. And I did not take the stand, to shooting at night / evening. As we have already solved this problem c weighing equipment? Food Does that take less, when in May will go. )

08. Already risen quite high. At the height of bird flight.

09. Sunbathing during a halt.

10. Halt, halt.

11. Michael. Moscow. Engaged in aerial photography. After watching his Photos from Ecuador, I also fired up the trip there.

12. The next stop. The sun sets. "Angry Birds" in the mountains!

13. Attempt to keep the record.

14. Novel. From Kiev. Roma, calling for a visit? Wait, soon will be! )))

Gradually, it was evening. Usually, at this time, everyone is starting to sit at table, and we started to put up tents. 15. Evening sunset. Long-focus optics here is necessary, but not.

The second time we celebrated the New Year in the street and the first time in the mountains. That can I say? Better than Red Square last year. In the evening, put fifty dollars and photographed portraits. 16.

We have lunch in the thought that in Vladivostok new year has come. In the evening we sat and thought, where in the next hour has come the new year.

At 12 o'clock we reached the southern slope Demerdzhi and watched over the valley flew up fireworks. Glimpses of outbreaks across the rolling Valley and hit a wall of mountains. With our height was even impossible to understand soared light flashed or near the ground. On distant peaks, has suddenly started to light up red, green and yellow dots. That neighbors are half a kilometer from our lit wicks pyrotechnics.

And we had some vodka to warm, fat and one mandarin. Night. Black Sea coast. Height of 1200m. That's how we met in 2013.

20. Tree to be sure, and dressed. We had been. ) Y We even had a "night" The Snow Maiden. She prilsha. Julia from MOE. Says the smell was, but with GPS `th.

After that, the picture appeared a whole day of shooting. 21. A new day, another transition and halt.

22. Falls - the first ice, which we saw in this campaign.

23. Julia is saying - see the water!

And then came the idea to do portraits Shirikov. 24.

We leave to the next waterfall - Jur-Jur. This waterfall, so to speak, ennobled. Placed handrails, trail trodden, bridges Sight. And at the entrance booth collectors with reward. I wonder on what basis is going to pay? On that day, or anyone not it was, but for the future it is necessary to bear in mind.

31. The place is very beautiful.

32. One may even say fabulous.

33. Tripod and neutral density filters. That's what I need!

After a few hours of the campaign is over, we will sit down in the bus, drive to the Alushta, and there separate ways. We've got the Big Yalta. 34. Family photo on the memory.
