I have not lost impression still about flooding in Minsk. I have to say a some chronology where flooding has overtaken me. I was in a botanical garden and enjoyed my stay there.

It is a cloud. The thunder-storm and a wild downpour has begun, which one hour proceeded almost.

It’s consequences… And my camera has suffered from a rain.

The cloud has moved out. Certainly, consequences were dreadful for the municipal authorities and shops, cafe in centre city. But I have left city centre and have moved to other part of a city where the downpour has done nothing. There I have met sunny beams.

Here I got into a hole of beaver. It was so suddenly that I was frightened. My foot entirely has failed in a hole, I have hardly crept out. There were thickets and marshiness an around.

Today I had the day off. And weekend begins already tonight. How to spend days off when hot weather and city streets are heated under the sun till +35C. I told: +35C???… It is awful!!! No…No…. I don’t like very hot weather. But it’s seems I’ve found how to spend these days. I has visited forest today early in the morning. I wandered around forest and listened “The Killers”, it is their album of 2008 year named as “Day And Age”, also photographed. I enjoyed it very much!!! Tomorrow I’m going to visit forest again. The nature sounds calm nerves and give a discharge after working week….

I wish to put photos of snails, which I shoted on Saturday in the botanical garden. There was a rain and a lot snails have simply crept out of all cracks to road, they sat on stones and leaves… It was amusing to see it…

Yesterday I was at festival of Sanctuary of the God’s Mother in village of Trakeli, there is copy of icon of the Salus populi Romani from Rome which has been moved from Vilnius in 1595 to that village. I as the pilgrim went on foot to bow before this icon. I have overcome 17 km and I have spent four hours.
