An Illustrated Travel Magazine by Victor Tribunsky
Every city is a fairytale at night
Even the most miserable one, even a tiny village. Any place looks different, more magical, cozy, and calm.
At the start of our travel career, my wife and I tried to wake up early, sometimes at 3.00 a.m., to go out and find an opportunity to take some pictures in any place where we stayed more than one day.
Let me show you some of them.

It’s nice to see a familiar face back in the blogging world. Welcome back, Victor! Taking photos at night is something I rarely do when I travel because most of the time I end up with blurry images — and I’m quite lazy when it comes to bringing my tripod. However, your photos makes me think of how much I’ve missed for not attempting to take those shots.
Thank you, Bama. I’m glad to see you.
As I wrote in the post, a tripod is amazing thing: it makes you night picture sharp and it can serve as a weapon. Not every city is safe at night.
I could be facetious and say, “What about Slough?” but even that could look pretty when lit up at night!
Beautiful photos. They were definitely worth the 3am start. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful photos, Victor. So nice to see you posting again. I know that travel restrictions have hit your blog hard, but you have such a reserve of photos you can easily put together a post without leaving the country. Hope you are keeping well.
Yes, our photo archive is enormous and I can write about Europe long enough without leaving Russia. But thanks to all these circumstances we got an opportunity to explore this country.
There were no strong restriction in Russia, therefore we continue to travel and collect materals for future blog posts. The question is: will posts about Russian attractions and historical places be interesting for english speaking readers? I’m not sure.
Of course it will be interesting for us! We may not be able to travel there personally, but that makes it all the more interesting to see it on your blog. How else can we get an idea what it’s like there? So yes, keep posting!
Some fantastic photos Victor. Especially spectacular is the Cathedral in Orvieto.
3 am wakeup to go sightseeing is quite an achievement! We’ve sometimes gotten up early, like 6, and even that was hard…
Thank you, Frank. I think Nerja will also be look magical at night. I hope you will show it in your YouTube channel one day. I have watched your day excursion with great pleasure, cozy town.

Early in the morning might be the only time you can get photos of Carcassonne that aren’t heaving with tourists! Lovely photos anyway!

You are right, but it also depends on the season. For example, there are not so many tourists in November or December.
