Catastrophes, wars, terrorism, ecological disasters, deadly diseases,
poverty ....
The list of tragedies - both personal and public - is endless. Every
day and hour media, politicians, experts - and charlatans - bring us
a never ending barrage of bad things. No wonder that many people feel
depressed and weary.
This blog tries - in a modest and personal way - to contribute to a more
balanced view. After all, there is so much to appreciate and
enjoy in life ...

Imperial Russia in colour
Here are five old photographs from imperial Russia. I have tried to make them a little more lively by adding colour:
Tsar Nicholas and Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich (1905 official photograph)
Portrait of Maxim Gorky (about 1905)
Dmitri Trepov, Governor-General of St. Petersburg (1905)
A guard in St. Petersburg during the revolutionary year 1905.
