Project RuSu 365

Not always so successful or interesting, & not always daily, though certainly a reflection of our daily lives - more like pick of the day. Our goal - to share our world and improve our skills. Thanks to all the members of the SmugMug Daily Community for your support and input. Feel free to leave feedback by clicking on 'Add Comment' below. We look forward to hearing your thoughts. The photo of the day will always be in first position. Thank you for looking. - Rustem Safronov & Susan Gilman a.k.a. RuSu. This gallery was started on October 26, 2010.

Henri Cartier-Bresson said, "Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.", so bear with us...

Spin art? Well this is what you get when you just don't have a decent shot to put up. These were wrought iron daffodils on a flower stand's signage. (SG)

  • In the small village of Parmailovo, the home and sculptures of local craftsman, Yegor Utrobin. (Perm Region, Russia) (RS)<br /> <br /> Literally, hadn't a moment to post or comment yesterday. Will try to catch up later this evening. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

  • Two Homers on the side of an apartment building. (Perm, Russia) (RS)<br /> <br /> Hope those of you who celebrated Thanksgiving had a good one. This may give you a chuckle.
  • Angels & blessings for Thanksgiving. <br /> <br /> These Prikamye wooden sculptures date back to the 17th century. The Perm State Museum has a marvelous collection of these religious figures done in a primitive style. They are truly unique & wonderful.<br /> <br /> Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!<br /> <br /> Thanks for your feedback on yesterday's shot.

They've also launched hundreds of satellites into orbit. (Perm, Russia) (RS)<br /> <br /> Thanks to everyone for all your comments on yesterdays' daily. Was overwhelmed by your reaction!
  • Remaining barracks at the Perm 36 Gulag. (RS)<br /> <br /> One of the USSR's harshest Gulag camps, Perm 36 is located about 100 kilometers from the city of Perm in the Ural Mountains. Built in 1946, this camp, and others in the region, housed about 150,000 prisoners, approximately one-third of the working population of the region. This barracks housed 250 men, mostly political prisoners.<br /> <br /> The camp was closed in 1987 and is now a memorial to Gulag victims.
  • Russian miner. <br /> <br /> About 370 meters (1230 feet) underground, mining the world's 2nd largest deposit of potassium and magnesium salts. (Solikamsk, Perm Region, Russia) (Сильвинит, Соликамск)

  • Girl in the park. (RS)
  • Tasty tortes. (Moscow)
  • A show of colors. (SG)<br /> <br /> Not a minute to spare today, so here's one from last weekend's demonstration. Already feeling a bit stressed about keeping up with a shot a day. Don't know how so many of you manage to do it. <br /> <br /> Thanks for all your comments on the pot roast - guess, a lot of people really like pot roast :-) Have a great Sunday.
  • Beef isn't very good here, so if you want something chewable, pot roast it is. I'm not a pot roast lover, but Rustem likes it - says it reminds him of kindergarten food - exactly why I dislike it. I'm a carnivore, however, so do make the occasional pot roast. Here's one about to go into the oven. Back to the States next month where my diet will consist of steak, steak & more steak.
  • Remnants of the past for sale on the street. The blue wood chips? Suddenly they're everywhere. Someone's crazy idea of how to beautify Moscow - not! (SG)
  • Café chandelier. (SG)
