  1. Yes, part of the territories of Poland were part of Russian Empire, that's right. These lands were called - Kingdom of Poland (on rus - Царство Польское). Perhaps you're right. If I correctly understood It is unexpected, however. But about churches I have nothing to say. I, my parents, brothers and sisters do not consider themselves to be religious people and do not attend church. And so, go to photos. First stop was made in North Kazakhstan - a mountain lake Borovoe (озеро Боровое): In first photo sky is hidden in smoke from massive forest fires in Siberia. Next day weather turned bad, and we decided to go back to Russia. Along way there were such landscapes: Kazakh city Schuchinsk (Щучинск) and its surroundings: Next stop - Medvezhye Lake (literal translation - Bear Lake, Медвежье озеро). Lake is located in south of Russia, in Kurgan region (Курганская область). This is a very salty lake, salinity of 360 ‰, which is a bit higher than in the Dead Sea. On the road to next point - thermal springs in the Tyumen region (Тюменская область): In first photo funny name of the village. Literally it can be translated as a village "Wet mustache". In the second photo - a monument to heroes of cultivating virgin soil. On other pictures - Tyumen (city). Abandoned pioneer camp:
  2. Parents of my great-grandfather were (probably) originally from Poland. He and his son (my grandfather) lived in Belarus before the revolution. After the revolution, his family fell under the repression of bolsheviks, and it was divided. Unfortunately, the little I know about it.
  3. Spasibo! Weather was quite a boring long time, I had nothing to share with forum. Also, I recently returned from autotravel in Kazakhstan, had to drive more than 2000 km. If interested, I can share photos of visited places.
  4. My first red sprites, night, August 2nd. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys8CP-5IyD0 Several frames:
  5. Aurora in the Urals during the night December 20, timelapse and live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05No79Ej93c
  6. After a year of observations proved that auroras in the Middle Urals is not such a rare phenomenon. On my latitude (57 N) aurora it becomes visible when Kp index reaches of 3. As a result of observations i have made video, which were the most striking instances of auroras in the period from 17 March to 11 September 2015 (the chronological order has not been respected): Photos in the album «Auroras 2015», author of Ilya Jankowski on Yandex.Photo
  7. I congratulate everyone on amazing auroras! I watched it all night at 57°N, Russia, Irbit city. Here are my pictures: And timelapse:
  8. Hi everyone from Russia! Sorry for my Google Translate Recently I discovered that the aurora even for small perturbations of the magnetosphere is available to watch on my latitude (57 ° N.), not the most northerly. I to periodically review map with the aurora. During its planned viewing evening on November 16, I found that the southern boundary of aurora gets to the 60th parallel: Indexes of magnetic storms showed the following values: I grabbed my camera, tripod and went to shoot. Eyes really could not see anything, but the photo was something. Ideal conditions for shooting were not - present haze, amplifying glare from lights. However: In addition to the terrible glare and noise on the background can be traced flashes of aurora. To make it more clearly, did the animation of the five frames, which shows the "dance" of the aurora: Recall that the first time in his life in the Middle Urals, I saw the aurora 12-13 September this year during a strong magnetic storm:
  9. On the night of 12-13 september, aurora was observed in large parts of Russia. I am first time in life able to observe this beautiful phenomenon, and to photograph it. 57°40′N, Irbit
  10. Hi everyone! On the night of 12-13 september, aurora was observed in large parts of Russia. I am first time in life able to observe this beautiful phenomenon, and to photograph it. 57°40′N
  11. Hi everyone! I have been absent due to the fact that winter in Russia - this is not best season for weather observations. Snow and cold - boring things. But in summer is another matter: Destructive thunderstorm night May 21, 2014 Distant thunderstorm with dust storm May 23, 2014 Spectacular low-precipitation thunderstorm June 5, 2014 Noctilucent clouds June 21, 2014
  12. More photos from archive. Lone mushroom cloud: One summer night: Roll cloud:
  13. Hi everyone, finally got around to publishing some of the photos. At this time i decided to depart a little from a weather theme in favor of wildlife. In the lens of my camera often caught birds, but few get good shots. Here are some of the best (first photo - linnet - коноплÑнка, other - chiffchaff - пеночка теньковка): Another object of photography often spiders, though i do not know the names of most species, except for garden spider (паук-креÑтовик, first photo): It is unfortunate that this is the maximum capacity of my camera. I dream about the technique more serious for high-quality macro- and telephoto. And a little bit about current weather - in Ural remains unusually warm for november weather, no snow cover, dominated by southerly winds. Temperature does not fall below 0°C, often rains, cloudy. November 8, maximum temperature amounted +12°C, it is very much to the area in november.
  14. About the current weather. In connection with the onset of the cold season temperature drops - minimums in the range of -3 to +0.5, max of +4 to +7. First snow (mainly from cumulonimbus). Dominated the western and northern wind. Of course, i will add photos of weather phenomena from my archive: Crow instability: Lenticular clouds: Cells gathering force:
  15. A Boy Named Sue, More photos: Snow cumulonimbus, are characteristic of the autumn and spring period: Classic cumulonimbus: Rain foot, updrafts, funnel (?): Altocumulus virga and other cloud top tier: Horizontal field of cloud seems to vertical wall. Optical illusion? A bit of sunsets:
