This autumn, I am not just saying goodbye to the summer - I am saying goodbye to the country where I have lived since I was 2 and the city I have lived in for 25 years...

Over the past few years, there have also been many hardships and losses - and I want to say goodbye to this period of my life as well.

All the photos were taken in summer in Russia, over the last dozen years or so. Most photos are taken by a DSLR camera but there are a few taken by a GoPro and maybe even a couple of phone camera shots.

This collection is FREE mint because I don't want to use old photos for a cash grab - and I want to share these summer moments with as many people as possible.
