Down and up Volga from Moscow to Astrachan and back by ship - 3 weeks. Your shots rememberded me all these beautiful days. I enjoyed your shots from Moscow and Volga. Keep doing it.

  • Hello Alex - this is just an amazing album. I really enjoyed the fantastic photos of all those wonderful carved buildings and the fabulous rock structures. I learned a lot too. My son saw one of the photos of the Treasury Building and said - that looks like a scene from an Indiana Jones movie, and sure enough it was!!

  • At your suggestion, I visited this fantastic album of Tetra, Jordan and downloaded 37 photos from it. I had always been interested in Tetra, but your pictures have made me want more. Now, I need to look up the history of Tetra, the cultures of this ancient city and the Biblical connections with Petra. These pictures are soooooo good!!!! Katherine

  • Alex, I know, there are only so many words you can use to describe a true beauty and craftsmanship. You always put your soul in every creation of a shot, every album, and every series that fascinate and thrill me so much. Of course, this is not your creation, since you are not God or whoever created this wonderful world around us. Nevertheless, you are that rare man, I must say, who have a wonderful vision and superb sense of harmony. Every shot is a separate creation and discovery on its own. I can see you lived through every moment of fascination from the beauty of the scenery and at the same time, noticed and added something MORE to it, that people like me do not even notice. I am just so privilege to know you personally and want to say, that the spirit of adventurous person with great sense of humor that you have definitely helped you to compose every picture that we see here. "Cease the moment" and share it with us.... again and again... Good luck in everything that you dream of, see and will experience... Mikhail Egorov (Russia) P.S. My nick here is MIKHAILRUSS
