Competitive Barbeque/Соревнования мастеров гриля

Competitive BBQ teams get together in DC in summer, it's hot enough outside, and the charcoal makes it even hotter. But it tastes great!

Кое-где популярны соревнования мастеров гриля. Готовят долго, изящно, вкусно.





And this all is not far away from...

И все это совсем недалеко от...

Not in China/Не в Китае

But in Chinatown, DC.

Но в Китай-городе, столица США.

Downtown DC/Центр столицы США

Lots and lots of houses. Lots and lots of traffic. But nice and pretty! And pricey...

Казалось бы, центр столицы, многоэтажки и деловой центр. Ан нет, спальный район.







Hey, French Embassy!

О, посольство Франции!


Let's keep on going.

Поехали дальше.






Hey, art school! Under construction.

О, школа искусств! Ремонт какой-то.

Going further.

Идем дальше.


Finally, leaving downtown.

Уезжаем из города.

Europe in DC/Европа в Америке

It seems like European architecture, but no, it's the US.

Казалось бы, европейская архитектура. Ан нет -- США.

Obama's garden/Сад Обамы

Still there for now.

Пока не разобрали.


Really, it's by the White House.

Честно, это рядом с Белым Домом.

Driving in wild nature, part 1: Alaska/Поездка по дикой природе, часть 1: Аляска

I had a chance to drive the Alaska-Canadian Highway in May. Here are some highlights of the Alaskan nature's beauty.

Мне предоставилась возможность поездить по Аляско-Канадскому шоссе в мае. Вот такие интересные виды природы встречаются на Аляске.



And all that within 60 miles of Anchorage, the biggest town in Alaska.

И вот это все на расстоянии меньше чем 100 километров от Анкориджа, самого крупного города Аляски.

And going further away from civilization, the views are even more stunning.

Удаляясь все дальше и дальше от цивилизации, живописные виды встречаются чаще и чаще.

This Spring has not been the warmest, this lake is still under ice.

Это озеро еще частично покрыто льдом, в середине мая. Эта весна была не самая теплая.

There are still many glaciers in this area.

В этой местности все еще много ледников.





We are stopping for the night in Tok.

Привал на ночь в местечке под названием Ток. 

This is what Tok looks like in the morning.

Вот так выглядит главная улица Тока утром.
