The hunt for yourself (A story of hilarious deception)

avatar

No, this is far from a selfie. You can take a selfie at any time if your smartphone is charged. We're hunting shadows.
In winter, the sun does not rise high. Its zenith is near the horizon. Therefore, on the south side of my house, you can find a shadow during the day. But the shadow from the window frame ... that's not interesting. So I decided to invite myself.
And I invite you to see the result.

Нет, это далеко не селфи. Селфи вы можете сделать в любой момент, если ваш смартфон заряжен. Мы же занимаемся охотой на тени.
Зимой солнце не поднимается высоко. Его зенит находится рядом с горизонтом. Поэтому на южной стороне моего дома днём можно застать тень. Но тень от рамы... это не интересно. Поэтому я решил пригласить себя.
А вас приглашаю посмотреть результат.

But first, there will be a little mystery about the shadows. Don't look at the end of the post. Just look at this photo and tell me what is wrong here?

Но вначале будет небольшая загадка про тени. Не надо заглядывать в конец поста. Просто посмотрите на это фото и скажите, что здесь не так?

Yes. This is not at all serious, but rather an entertaining post about our shadows. Ask me why? Because I came from the bath. There I swam in the lake in the Epiphany ice hole. I had to do this because I was born ... January 19 for Epiphany. It happened.

Да. Это совершенно не серьёзный, а скорее развлекательный пост про наши тени. Спросите меня, почему? Потому что я пришёл из бани. Там я купался в озере в крещенской проруби. Я должен был это сделать, потому что я родился... 19 января на Крещение. Так получилось.

Now a little lyrical digression from the shadow theme. Several pictures from the bathhouse on my old phone. I wanted to take some pictures in the doubles ward (+ 80-110 С) and I felt sorry for my new smartphone. However, in the steam room the camera was powerless.

Теперь небольшое лирическое отступление от темы теней. Несколько снимков из бани на мой старенький телефон. Я хотел сделать несколько снимков в парном отделении (+80-110 С) и мне было жалко мой новый смартфон. Впрочем, в парилке камера была бессильна.

But in the cold, the phone camera came to life. These tents are specially designed for bathers. There will be many here soon. They won't come here from the bath. They will just come, undress and swim. There will even be organized a rescue service and first aid. Everything is very serious.

Зато на морозе камера телефона ожила. Эти палатки поставлены специально для купальщиков. Скоро их будет здесь много. Они не будут приходить сюда из бани. Они будут просто приходить, раздеваться и купаться. Тут даже будет организована спасательная служба и первая медицинская помощь. Всё очень серьёзно.

I do not know how old this respected lady is. I think over 80!
Now do you understand why Russia cannot be defeated by anything? :-)
Greetings to coronavirus!

Я не знаю, сколько лет этой уважаемой леди. Думаю, что в за 80!
Теперь вы понимаете, почему Россию нельзя ничем победить? :-)
Привет короновирусу!

This is how we live. Our shadows live with us.

Вот так мы и живём. Наши тени живут вместе с нами.

The turn has come to answer the above question.

Пришла очередь ответить на поставленный выше вопрос.

This is the original photo and there are no shadows on it. Only Lightroom is to blame for everything :)

Это исходное фото и на нём нет никаких теней. Во всём виноват только Лайтрум :)

Oh! The memories! When I visited Russia I did the sauna /birch switches, ice bath and it was an experience I will never forget. I surprised myself by how much I loved it!
Fantastic photos and Happy Birthday! What a grand way to celebrate!

Happy Birthday @bambuka! ☺
You are very brave to jump in the cold water.
Love the photos and the story. I would not think that the shadow of the camera and the tripod were added. But of course, there is no sun on the otiginal photo. ☺

Wow, I am stunned, I am in awe and I think I just snap froze at the sight of the people getting out of the water and walking around barely dressed in that cold!
And here I am laying in 20+ degrees at night...and now I'm almost shivering...🤣

What a great story and a great post @bambuka and love your little riddles as always!

And a HUGE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
С Днем рожденья тебя

I smile and laugh)))
In Russia, it is considered normal to get out of the bathhouse and lie in the fluffy snow or dive into the ice-hole. It is very useful for hardening the body. No viruses will defeat such an organism :)
It is actually a very pleasant sensation when hot skin is immersed in cold water. You just have to try it once.

Thank you so much for the congratulations !
Nice to get it from you :-)

Я смеюсь )))
В России считается нормальным выйти из бани и поваляться в пушистом снегу или нырнуть в прорубь. Это очень полезно для закаливания организма. Никакие вирусы такой организм не победят :)
На самом деле это очень приятное ощущение, когда горячая кожа погружается в холодную воду. Это надо просто один раз попробовать.

Огромное спасибо за поздравление !
Очень приятно получить его от тебя :-)

I used to love diving into a cold mountain river for a swim in 35c heat- which was THE.BEST.HANGOVER.CURE.EVER, But that was a bit different to FROZEN water! 😱

So what about the shock to your heart when you go from one extreme to the other?

The temperature of the mountain river is not much higher than the temperature in the ice hole :)
If such procedures are performed regularly, the body will be tempered and strong and the heart will only rejoice.
When I go to the bathhouse and use the steam room there, I definitely use an ice-hole in winter and just a lake in summer. As a last resort, I pour myself cold water from a barrel. The body has long been accustomed to and even asks for cold water. Otherwise, there is a feeling that something is missing.
Start dousing yourself with warm water at first and gradually switch to cold water. You yourself will feel how useful and pleasant it is.

But I'll just have to trust you on the enjoyment part...🤣
