These days parts of Europe, Asia and the US are experiencing extreme winter weather. The massive snowfall, ice and minus degrees make summer seem so far away. This is an escape. Or a reminder. I made the photos last August, on a short spontaneous trip to Crimea, Ukraine. Crimea used to be Russia's pride, a beloved holyday destination for communist leaders during the Soviet Union. Now, twenty years later thousands of young Russians return to this hidden paradise.
The girls are prettier, the boys wilder and the champagne sweeter on the golden becahes of the Black Sea.
