From Dusk Till Dome – Saint Petersburg

You can find From Dusk Till Dome – Moscow on this blog for more pics from Russia. All pictures have been taken by me, https://www.instagram.com/lyraophelia/.

Metro 2019

I know this was actually shot in November 2018, but I thought this title would make more sense as we’re in, you know, 2019.

City Cosmonaut – Part 2

The Moscow-smonaut is back! Through a time portal… So, I’m wearing the same outfit as on Part 1. The location is different though.

Abandoned Autumn

That’s the second post here with my own pictures, the first one, Northern Sights, was about picturesque Iceland last December. In October, I went to Poland and explored a bit with Maciej who took the urbex pictures for my previous post, This Corrosion. There is something about the places we visited that work well in…

This Corrosion

This October, I was in Poland for some conferences including 4Developers in Kraków. There, I had the pleasure to catch up with friends old and new. Maciej Żywioł, who photographed me in Canary Wharf for some previous articles (The Muse of Dreams, Chaos Theory and Metamorphosis), photographed me again but this time in his amazing…

A concrete opening for a cobalt opera Brutalism is an architectural style that started in the 1950s. Often massive, with concrete blocks prone to urban decay and fortress-like features, brutalist…
