Inside the sound

To see what is behind magnificent front of the organ my curiosity took me behind the scene of Kircha. Actually with the visitor eye there was tall wooden wall with the 2x2 m box in front of it. Uzeir Mammadov whom I met on the stage in the beginning, told me that the box is denoised compressor of the instrument, then showed tiny invisible door taking to the internal world of the organ. There were lots of very fragile tubes inside, even temperature can deform and change the sound. It's a completely different experience of a sound perception to be inside of the organ when it is played.
To feel it sometimes Uzeir is sitting inside the instrument during the concerts.

Zaporozhets

On my last day in Semipolky village, I met a local self-taught landscape painter Oleg Zaporozhets. He is working with different techniques, even invented his own. Sometimes he is painting women portraits for sale and call them "Мои продажные женщины". But main theme of his work is silent expanses of his land. "Time goes on, and my main wish is to make a wall painting in the local church to leave a legacy behind me."

Doves

"I used to be a fisherman, like most men from Alat. Now, because of the disease on my leg, I will not risk going far, but for a good catch this is necessary. Then I began to grow pigeons. They are more loyal than people. I love to watch how they first take care of their chicks, unlike us."

the Antique shop

We entered into a small antique shop right after visiting Camp Nou. First lady I met there was a grand daughter of one of the founders of FB Barcelona. She told us a lot about him, but unfortunately my Spanish was so poor to understand her story, but her sign language.
