Houses and nature of Sergiev Posad winter..Sergiev Posad is an ancient city (its history dates back to the distant XIV century) and is known not only to almost all residents of Russia, but also to many foreign tourists (Sergiev Posad is included in the Golden Ring of Russia). Located at 50 km. from Moscow..Sergiev Posad received its name on March 22, 1782 on the instructions of Empress Catherine II in honor of the founder of the settlement: the hieromonk Sergius of Radonezh. From 1930 to 1991, the city was named as Zagorsk in honor of the revolutionary leader V. M. Lubotsky (Zagorsky), after which he returned to his original name.
Uglich is a beautiful cozy Russian town in the Yaroslavl region, formed on the Volga River and included in the Golden Ring of Russia.
The 16th century is the date of one of the most dramatic events in Russia. The death of Tsarevich Dmitry happened. This was the reason for the formation of the Great Troubles. There are several opinions about the origin of the sonorous name. Most likely, it comes from the word "ugilets". This is the name of the right angle that the Volga River makes. If you believe the legend, the date of the foundation of the city is 937. The founder is a relative of Princess Olga, a prince from Pskov. The city is mentioned in the chronicle in 1148. In the 13th century, the settlement became the center of the appanage principality of the same name. Subsequently, the village was often destroyed. In 1328, thanks to Ivan Kalita, Uglich became part of the lands of Moscow.
The flourishing of the city began in 1642. This is the period of the reign of Prince Bolshoi. A large palace complex appeared on the territory. Chambers of appanage princes were built, which have been perfectly preserved to our time. In 1713, the Transfiguration Cathedral appeared. On the Volga coast, in tribute to the memory, the Church of Demetrius on the Blood was built.
In the photo on the right: the Resurrection Monastery, which may be the oldest in the Uglich land. The time and circumstances of its foundation are not known, but it could have been among the monasteries founded by the Uglich prince Roman Vladimirovich (1261-1285), who ruled the city in the second half of the 13th century. Together with Uglich, the monastery survived the Polish devastation. In terrible and dramatic events, many of the brethren and up to 500 of the townspeople who took refuge were killed. By the middle of the 17th century, the monastery was revived again. During the struggle against religion in Soviet times, the Resurrection Church was one of the first to be closed. In 1923 it was taken over by the museum. At this, the thread of the succession of times was broken, for a long period the spiritual ministry and its use for its intended purpose ceased. The construction of the Uglich hydroelectric power station, which began in 1936, the blasting operations carried out by Volgostroi, and the rise in the level of the Volga, further aggravated the condition of the monastery. The buildings were in critical condition in a short time. Fortunately, the interest in the monuments of Russian culture, awakened after the war, made it possible to stop the wave of destruction. By 1956 - 1971 the restoration of the monastery buildings belongs. Complex work was carried out to chemically strengthen the soil, which made it possible to eliminate the causes of the long-standing destruction. The modern stage in the history of the monastery began in 1999, when the monastery was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church and the revival of its true purpose and monastic life began. In 2007-2008. a fence with towers was erected around the temples. So, gradually, through the efforts of monks and benefactors, the historical appearance and significance of the ancient monastery is being restored.
Near left: Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist. This church is rightfully one of the pearls of Uglich.
On a June day in 1663, Uglich was shocked by a tragic event - the young son of the richest Uglich merchant Nikifor Chepolosov disappeared. All searches were in vain, and the parents were desperate. Almost a month later, on July 2, the body of the murdered baby John was found under a layer of moss in a swamp. It turned out that the baby was killed by his clerk Fyodor Rudak, who harbored evil against the merchant. The inconsolable father decided to honor his son who died so tragically. For this, in 1689-1691. In the 1960s, restorers discovered an arkasolium (niche) where Vanya Chepolosov was buried in the north side-altar of the church.
And to the left in the distance are the blue domes of the Epiphany Monastery. He is not an ancient one. According to two existing versions, it was founded at the end of the 16th century by Maria Nagaya, mother of Tsarevich Dimitri and the last wife of Ivan the Terrible, or Ksenia Shestova (nun Martha), mother of the first tsar from the Romanov family, Mikhail Fedorovich. The cathedral, an example of the official Russian-Byzantine style, was erected in 1843-1853. designed by architect K. Ton. The construction of the cathedral, despite the apparent well-being of the monastery, became a real feat for the nuns. Erecting such a large building, they themselves made a brick, raised it on the walls, collected donations.
City Sergiev Posad, Moscow region. Houses on the bank of a frozen pond. The house for the swans is still empty..On March 22, 1782, Catherine II signed a decree according to which Sergiev Posad was established from villages and settlements near the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. The name is associated with the name of Sergius of Radonezh, the founder of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, around which the posad was formed.
In 1919, Sergiev Posad was transformed into the city of Sergiev..Sergiev Posad was incorporated into the Golden Ring of Russia in 1969. The city houses the Stavropegic Monastery of the Russian Orthodox Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site - the Trinity-Sergius Lavra.

Uglich is a city on the Volga, where all cruise ships heading from Moscow to Yaroslavl or Nizhny Novgorod stop. The city, founded in the 10th century, has long been part of the optional list of localities of the Golden Ring route, but in March 2018 it was officially recognized by the Russian authorities as part of a popular tour of the ancient cities northeast of the capital. Now the Golden Ring route has 9 stops.
Uglich is a city where, despite a turbulent history, enemy army raids, fires and other cataclysms, historical buildings have survived to this day, looking at which it is easy to believe that I returned a couple of centuries ago before civilization came here.
The main tourist site of Uglich is considered to be the local Kremlin, devoid of fortress walls and now resembling a beautiful park in which you can find the royal chambers, two cathedrals and the Church of Dmitry on the Blood. It was erected on the site of the death of Tsarevich Dmitry, the son of Ivan Groznyy.
There are as many museums in Uglich as there are temples. for example, the Museum of the History of Uglich, or the Legends of Uglich Museum, on 9 January Street stands the mansion of the shipbuilder Kalashnikov, erected in the 18th century and now turned into the Tea Party Museum. Perhaps the most popular local museum is the Vodka Museum. It is impossible to leave without tasting. Next to this museum, since 2004, the Museum of Prison Art has been operating.

“I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond.” – Mae West (American actress)
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" the 1st of August is "bling jewellery & accessories". Now, I am not a big fan of gaudy jewellery, but I am fond of stylish statement pieces, and this ring which I have chosen for the theme falls into the latter type, and is my kind of bling. This ring was made in 1933: the deepest year of the Great Depression, yet there is nothing depressing about it as its diamonds and sapphires set in an unusual hexagonal Art Deco setting, the likes of which I never seen before, sparkle and wink. The piece exudes luxury and was made by a very skilled Parisian jeweller. Set in platinum, and attached to an eighteen karat gold band, this French cocktail ring contains ten cushion cut old mine diamonds around a channel of princess cut sapphires. When worn, it sparkles and shimmers and certainly catches the eye, but to make it even more glamourous, I have chosen to set it upon a piece of sequin covered fabric.
The ring was a favoured piece by its owner, and worn to cocktail parties, balls, the opera and social events throughout the 1930s. When the Second World War broke out, it still found its way onto its owner’s finger on occasion when she went dancing at fashionable West End nightclubs like the Café de Paris, or the Ritz or the Dorchester, even as the German bombs of the Blitz hit London. After the War, the ring continued to be worn, but more so at quieter family affairs, society occasions and political events. Most importantly this ring was loved and treasured by its original owner, and is still loved to this very day. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
HMM!
Russian wedding rings are constructed from 3 interlocked bands traditionally worn on the right hand.
Typically three rings of different coloured golds (yellow, rose and white) are intertwined together to create one ring.
The significance of this style of ring in Russian culture comes from the Christian Orthodox in the 19th century, it was meant as a representation of the Holy Trinity.
This particular ring is quite small, designed to be worn on the little finger.
“A portrait is not made in a camera, but on either side of it.” - Edward Steichen (influential Luxembourgish American photographer, painter, and curator).
When it was my fortieth birthday, some many moons ago, as a gift to myself I commissioned a portrait of myself by a well-known and highly regarded society painter. I decided to wear a theatre jacket I had designed myself, made of Japanese silver and white brocade featuring a pattern of chrysanthemums in hexagons which I wore to a charity ball earlier that year, and I am holding one of my Great Grandmother’s tortoiseshell handled dyed ostrich feather Court fans from 1923. I sat for the artist in three separate day sittings, and she also took photographs of me. I asked her to pay particular attention to my costume, which I am very proud of, and also my jewellery, as I was wearing a mixture of inherited antique family rings and gifts from family for significant birthdays. The rings included an Art Deco cocktail ring of garnets and pearls, several gold and diamond rings, including my Great Grandmother’s engagement ring from the end of the Nineteenth Century, and an Art Deco diamond and sapphire ring set in platinum from Vienna. Not only did the portrait capture my likeness well, it is beautiful, and she has authentically captured the details of my costume and my jewellery.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" the 22nd of August is "details of a painting" which requires me to photograph things people may miss unless you get up close to it; not the entire painting. When I read the theme, I immediately thought of my fortieth birthday portrait. Although I have several other portraits painted for significant years of my life, this is by far the biggest and hangs just inside the entrance to my house, welcoming guests across the threshold. Being the biggest, it is the one where one could potentially miss those fine details, and because I was especially pleased with the artist’s reproduction of my costume and my jewellery, I have decided to focus on them for this week’s theme. I hope you like my choice, and that it makes you smile!

Strobist/technical info:
The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights and an LED cube light. The SB900s were placed at 9- and 3-o'clock, twenty-inches above and thirty-inches away from the ring. They were fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄128 (CL) and 1⁄64 (CR) power respectively through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes. An LED cube was placed overhead and behind the ring to illuminate the background.
The SB900s were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X flash triggers.

The year is 1915, and Great Britain has been at war with the Kaiser for a year now. A young, newly minted Officer takes his sweetheart for a day trip to the seaside resort of Brighton before he is shipped out to the front. They wander the promenade and the shops of the town to distract themselves from their inevitable parting. She sees a pretty daisy setting diamond ring in the window of a Brighton jeweller’s shop. He walks in proudly, dressed in his smart new army khaki, and buys the ring for her. When he gives it to her, he asks her to promise to wear it until he comes home again. Knowing that there is a distinct chance that he may not come home, she calls her agreement to his request a “piecrust promise” – easily broken. However, as he slips it on to her finger, she agrees and tells him to keep himself safe and prove that his promise to return is not a piecrust promise either. That is the beginning of the true story for this ring. You will be pleased to hear that when hostilities ended in 1918, the young Officer did return to his sweetheart, and they did get married in 1920 and started a family. She held to her promise, and she wore this ring, which became known as the “piecrust promise ring”, until he came home, and then for a good many years after: her whole life in fact, which was a long and happy one with her husband, that young Officer.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 27th of September is "gemstones". I have many pieces that I have access to that I could photograph for the theme, but I really wanted to share this dainty daisy setting ring of six winking diamonds set in platinum on an eighteen karat band, made in 1914, because it has a happy story associated with it. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile.
Edwardian jewellery is renowned for its delicate, beautifully crafted designs. In contrast to Victorian jewellery, many pieces created during the Art Nouveau period were made in a very feminine fashion, using finer smaller stones and very light settings made possible by using platinum.

A regular out at Carden Alvar. This nice gentleman gave me a Nature Guide Map of all the hot spots in the area for bird watching. Half an hour before I had met him ,he spotted some Loggerhead Shrikes (endangered species) about 200 yards away from this area. I went there ,but did not see them, unfortunately. However, I did spot a Bobolink in the area.
Later, I had showed him and his friends where I had seen some Wilson's Snipes and they were able to spot 2 of them.

I used to wear this little ring on my baby finger, but due to my arthritic swollen joints it no longer fits so I need to wear it on a chain. The ring is 1.5 cm in diameter, so the image spans about 6.2 cm.
