Ireland, Spring 2007, Hook Head, Co Wexford. The oldest lighthouse in Europe. The tower of the lighthouse was built in 13th century over the estuary of the 3 rivers (Suir, Barrow and Nore, according to Wikipedia) and on the rocky shore of Celtic Sea. I would like to come back for a whole day. It is very scenic place and I would take a lot of brilliant pictures of it, I am sure of that. Camera: Konica Minolta A1 DiMage

1999 Scotland, Mainland of Shetland. Photo of a southern part of that island. The photo was taken with my old Russian SLR camera Zenith ET. After it was scanned I was playing a little with it in Photoshop, trying to get some nice colours. However the film was a little bit scratched and there was some dirt on the print so I decided to give it a bit of old style, BW coloured photo. After that attempts (with some additional scratches and dirt) it looks like a photo from pre or war time. The story of Norwegian resistance supported and supplied by British army via Shetland Islands using the small fishermen trawlers - called Shetland bus, was the first thing that I had on my mind. I have decided to use a name of the Islands I have found somewhere, and that sounds more Germanic (however not German), and I made a photo stylised on spy photo taken by a German spy during the war.

13 September 2007, Spain, Pyrenees, Castle Loarre (Castillo Di Loarre). Another photo of the 11th century Romanesque castle built on the frontline between Christian and Muslim word. This time you can see a view from the top yard of the castle to the tower and dome of the private knights’ chapel. As I wrote before, the castle and its vicinity was used as a background in the first and the last scenes of great movie “Kingdom Of Heaven”. Camera: Samsung GX 10
