Here a storm comes ashore at the public beach in Feodosia. In the background there are overhead rails to launch and retrieve pleasure boats for private club members.
The tall building in the back ground was at one time the "Electronics Building" and there is a tunnel leading from under the building out to the edge of the water.
Beyond the Electronics Building is the Feodosia Oil Company and there are usually several oil tankers anchored off their shore waiting to prop off or pick up their cargo.
The first picture is looking to the Left, while the next picture looks to the Right showing the port facilities and the military base on the hill. On the far point of land is a
Ukrainian Naval Base and a lighthouse to mark the harbor entrance.

| Even though the lady is bundled up to protect herself from the cold in May on the shores of the Black Sea, the man at the end of the breakwater does not seem to be having any problem. The dark shadows in the water are submerged rocks. |
| Within a short walking distance of the flat was the Park of the Dancing Water. The various fountains are regulated to keep time with music played over a loud speaker and at night the whole thing is illuminated with colored lights which also keep changing in time with the music. Behind the fountain a set of steps takes you up to a small cafe overlooking the fountain. |
| This thing is nearly all inflatable. The thing is brought in for the summer season usually by a Czechoslovakian company. There are lots of other rides at this time of year and music fills the streets until the cerfue at 11:00 in the evening. Summer is a great time to visit this wonderful little town. The water of The Black Sea is Brakish, but said to have healing properties. |
| This is another inflatable waterfront amusement. As Lyudmila explained it to me it is a place for children to jump and play. If it were in the States I'd suspect once the children were inside the thing, their parents would pray it would snap shut and return to the sea. The building to the Left is the public toilet, there is a lady there, selling toilet paper. |
Looking across the street in the middle of downtown Feodosia, standing in
front of the central telephone building.
The Central Market is off to the Left around the corner. The streets are lined
with little open air places where you can buy almost anything you might
need.
As usual, the streets are lined with all sorts of vendors, most of whom take
flight at the first sight of the police unless they have paid them off in
advance. You can see just how "portable their displayes are in the picture.

| This was the building I stayed in. The flat is in the third floor behind the second balcony from the Left corner. The crane in the picture hadn't moved in five years and the only people to go anywhere near it were children who climbed up to the control cab then slid down the control cable to the ground. The control cable was rubber coated and smooth. Fortunately, no one fell while I was there. There is an area to the left in the picture, known to be a hot spot for drug trafficing. In walks past the place there were piles of medical waste in and around the building. |
This is Ivan, his wife and one of the two cats and two dogs he has in his home in the building on
the Right.
The picture was taken on a secret military base way back in the Crimean Hills. It seems in the
morning Ivan served in the Russian Navy but at lunch time he changed hats and served the rest of
the day in the Ukrainian Navy.
He also doubled as a traffic cop. He had a great sense of humor as is evidenced by the picture on
the Right hand side.

| Just some of the beautiful buildings located in downtown Feodosia. The beach is only a short walk from here. The buildings pictured here are private homes up over small stores. |
| Here you can see one of the children climbing the crane structure and another in the control cab. The cable they slide down on is the one just to the rear of the cab. This picture was taken from the balcony of the flat. |
| The wall at the bottom of the picture separates the railroad from a pedestrian walkway and this beautiful house on the hillside. The beach is just behind me. Most of the buildings along the shore in Feodosia have been converted into "Sanatoriums". Over in Ukraine Sanatoriums are places to rest or vacation and are not to house the insane. |
In my book, "My E-Mail Order Bride", I speak of "Lucky Cat". Lucky Cat was dropped
from the roof of the apartment building to the Right by some young boys. Oddly
enough the cat survived but suffered from the fall. A friend's two daughters nursed the cat
back to health.
Shortly thereafter they moved to the U. S., we were told Lucky Cat sat outside the door to
their home in back of this building and refused to eat or drink. Naturally, it died.

Just across the railroad tracks and road from the beach in Feodosia is this spring where one can
buy bottled mineral water fresh from the ground.

| Ivan was also a gifted wood carver as it evidenced by this display of his workmanship. This display was in his front hall in his home on the secret military base. |
