Yalta photo album [part 1]

Since I seriously started shooting digital captures I have collected many interesting Yalta photos. So I decided to begin posting them on this blog as a small albums. Sometimes they will be dedicated to a specific topic and sometimes will not. Today we start with a marine theme because Yalta is always closely associated with Black Sea. Many Mediterranean sea cruises are planned so to visit Yalta and a lot of tourists come to Yalta on cruise ships. Black Sea and different views of Yalta bay can be seen from almost every part of the town so let me fill today's album with some photos of this thematic.

1. The panorama of Yalta bay and the former 'Golden Fleece' restaurant on Yalta embankment (January 2013). Now this famous restaurant is called 'Apelsin' ('Orange') but still is stylized as an antique ship so you will see it from all parts of Yalta embankment

'Samantha Smith' ship in Yalta bay (September 2011). From Wiki: 'Samantha Reed Smith (June 29, 1972 – August 25, 1985) was an American schoolgirl, peace activist and child actress from Manchester, Maine, who became famous in the Cold War era United States and Soviet Union. In 1982, Smith wrote a letter to the newly appointed CPSU General Secretary Yuri Andropov, and received a personal reply which included a personal invitation to visit the Soviet Union, which she accepted'.

4. Swans and other birds in Yalta Bay near the embankment (January 1st, 2013). Every cold winter many birds fly to Southern Coast of Crimea where the climate is much warmer. So you can see swans, ducks and cormorants even in the center of Yalta just near the embankment and feed them with the bread.
