Tatyana Binovskaya- artist

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqWVFWzDFOA I confess to you that I am tired. I thought about skipping this Friday, despite the fact that it was very interesting, but still, I will try to describe it again for you. Last Saturday we visited the Investec Art Fair. At the time when we lived here permanently, Radu and I hurried this festival every year in February, but now it has been changed and instead of Design Indaba, they began to hold Art Investec Fair. The current festival was very full and it was clear that it was held without curatorship, exhibited at it, by those who paid. And as I already said, Art is Art, even in Africa, but the audience on it was excellent. It was it who created the incredible impression of a real festival of arts. A presentation for customers of the finished portrait work took place this week. They were happy! And today I was able to meet my wonderful friend and gallery owner Debbie Greve. Debbie sold their gallery space in Sea Point and was able to buy a hou...

Today I will continue the story about the parks of Melbourne. Fitzroy Gardens   is another park located in the heart of Melbourne's business on the south bank of the Yarra River. It occupies 26 hectares (64 acres) The gardens are named after Sir Charles Augustus Fitzroy KCB (June 10, 1796 - February 16, 1858) who was a British soldier, politician, and member of the aristocracy and served as governor of a number of British colonies in the 19th century. The gardens are one of the main examples of landscaped gardens, in the Victorian era in Australia. One of the most remarkable attractions of the gardens is the huge centuries-old fig trees planted in the long avenues. The land on which a park was originally swampy, with a stream pouring into the Yarra River. The gardens were originally designed by Clement Hodgkinson, the trees were planted by the gardener James Sinclair, and were designed as thick woodland with winding alleys. The stream has been landscaped and planted on the banks of...

Camellia. In Australia, for the first time, I saw live camellias, which I had only heard about before. Later, already in Odesa, I bought my own room camellia and we looked at it with great beauty. All my close friends knew about our pet and watch its photo. But, our life was wiped out by war and our camellia perished. Left only photos and videos. And now are the history and legends, which are dedicated to these beautiful Camellias! The romantic beauty and antiquity of the coming of the camellias have become a bedrock of impersonal myths and enigmatic stories tied from a flower. Behind the orders of the camellia is a beautiful, but soulless flower - the emblem of coldness and callousness of feelings, the emblem of beautiful, but heartless women, like, not loving, adding, and destroying. About the vindication of the camellia of the earth, there is such a story. Erota (Cupid), who was overcome by the love of the goddesses Olympus and earthly women, yoga mother Aphrodite (Venus) pleased to...

About 500 people used to live in the city, on February 7, 2009, there was a terrible fire, the official death toll was 45 people. Almost all the houses in the city burned to the ground.

Twelve guest houses were established by 1920, one of the most famous being the...
