Yuzhno - July Week 2 - Visit to Kholmsk.. town

After leaving the beach, Sergey suggested to visit the town for some photo shooting... its only 15 minutes away from the beach....


This is the town of Khomsk...


A small park by the sea.


Looks like a lighthouse.. at least to me.

Yuzhno - July Week 2 - Visit to Kholmsk.. beach

Sergey and Dimitri decided it is time to visit Kholmsk since the weather is perfect, 22-25C, so we travelled in 2 cars to this other part of Sakhalin about 100km away from Yuzhno. It is actually the west coast.


None of these roads are good for 160km/h.. but they sure looked like a nice bend.


A view from the slightly elevated part of the way to Kholmsk.


Yours truly with his new toy.


Try out the 50mm F1.8 lense with a macro shot.


Alot of unloading work, glad none is left over.


First view of the sea.


crystal clear water...


some ruins.. not?


the quiet part of the beach.


A good place to park.


these tall grass doesn't look like there are snakes in there, so I roamed freely around.


Me and my zoom lens.


This is the people ... minus Sergey


This is the team.. minus me.. which picture looked better? this or the one before this?


This is Cornara


This is some folks on the quiet part of the beach


Kid in the land reclaim business


Digging more sand..


Lil girl, lil boy and his dog having fun under the sun.

The beach..
