Intro: Hi.
My native city is Odessa (Ukraine, the former USSR) located on a coast of the Black Sea. Here I was born, have grown, am living and working now.

As a scientist (computational economist) I work at one of the research institutes of National Academy of Sciences all my grown life. Last ten years I also work as a lecturer at the University. My main scientific interests concerned the development of mathematical methods of modeling of economic-ecological systems. Since 1992 (after disintegration of the USSR and deep system crisis) I am compelled to undertake to do any work which I can find. Fortunately, last years it is only research projects.

I am a big fan of the wild nature and as a researcher on problems of the interaction of the economy and Nature I know, insofar Nature is frail. The Photography allows to learn this beautiful world better and love it more that, I hope, will be the warranty of its preservation.

I'm glad to have an opportunity to share my own observations and to adopt knowledge and experience of more skilled TN-members and to be getting pleasure from their works.

I'm very grateful to everyone who has seen my photos and shared own impressions. I sincerely would like to answer each critique and comments but my English limits my possibilities a bit.
