About me, my name is Vitaly, I am 46 years old working as a driver, I have two children

Vitaly,

Welcome aboard...........

four.cycle · Nov 18, 2018

Welcome to the site.
It looks like you are very far north.
I hope you have good heat in your garage!

Toothaker · Nov 18, 2018

Very good start to your new thread, Vitaly! That's a very nice garage. Tile floor and a lift. You will fit right in here. Welcome!

How far is your home from your garage? That's one difference between U.S. and Russia. Here, our garages are normally next to our homes.

Most cities live in apartment buildings and it is forbidden to build garages in the courtyards of these houses.
And we have almost no private houses in the north
I walk to the garage for 10-15 minutes,

Vitaliy51 · Nov 18, 2018

In the summer I began to build another garage, near

J-man67 · Nov 18, 2018

Thank you, everything works well.

Now we have a polar night, this is when the sun does not appear at all, the polar night will last until mid-January, then the day will start to increase
Therefore, photographing something outside is problematic, dark
some photos will be old

Vitaliy51 · Nov 18, 2018

This is my district, the outskirts of Murmansk, here I live

Vitaliy51 · Nov 18, 2018

A bit more

Unruh · Nov 18, 2018

That architecture is amazing. So many of the building around here, including our house, are just cookie cutter with little eye appeal.

Your garage looks great. I’d love to have a lift!

Brian_P · Nov 18, 2018

That is a great shop!

You mention the polar night, so I did a bit of research. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murmansk

Some things that caught my eye: Murmansk is 2° north of the Arctic Circle, and its harbor benefits from the Gulf Stream, which means it is a year round, ice-free harbor. I find it amazing that the heat from the Gulf of Mexico makes it that far north.

Thanks for the geography lesson, Vitaly, and the great pictures of your garage. Does this mean that you have two garages, or are we seeing the construction of the garage in the first post?

And it also means that in summer it is still light in the middle of the night, which is just as amazing as the dark days of winter.

Bob Heine · Nov 18, 2018

Welcome Vitaliy51, I'll be following along quietly.

Приветствую Виталия51, я буду тихо следовать.

Welcome Vitaly,

Good to see you started a thread here as well.

Thank you for sharing your life with us.

Very interesting

You have a great looking shop.

And I love your VW Bus.

jeepxj · Nov 18, 2018

The sink in your garage. is that a hot water tank with a tap right one in? does it always keep the water hot?

Finallygotit · Nov 18, 2018

Count me in. This is great!

four.cycle · Nov 18, 2018

Vitaliy- whose face is that on the wall at the center of the war memorial?

Vieux · Nov 19, 2018

Yes you are right, the Kola Bay does not freeze, shipping is always open,
The polar night comes, now sunrise 10.39 sunset 14.24 and will continue to decline, from mid-January will begin to increase
In summer, the polar day, the sun does not set at all
I built a second garage, the interior is left, we have two cars and two trailers in our family

Vitaliy51 · Nov 19, 2018

My wife drives this car
And a photo of our trailer
There is another cargo trailer

Vitaliy51 · Nov 19, 2018

Winter is very late this year.
Not the best view from my window

Photos of the central regions of the city later

Not whose specifically, it is a collective image

48RON54 · Nov 19, 2018

Thank you for sharing the pictures. I really enjoy seeing the pictures of things in Russia from the members that live in that area. Everything is so different from what I'm used to seeing in the US. Thanks again.

Chim · Nov 19, 2018

Я прожил год в России, и иногда я по-прежнему занимаюсь русским языком. надеюсь, мои предложения лучше, чем переводы Google!

ConCretin · Nov 19, 2018

Виталий, Добро пожаловать в журнал «Гараж». Спасибо, что разместили фотографии своего магазина и удивительные достопримечательности вокруг своей части мира.

To be honest I never even heard of Google Translate. I hope I didn't just create an international incident! :shocking:

LaneRover · Nov 19, 2018

It is nice to see the memorials commemorating those who sailed on the arctic convoys, I know at least 2 people who sailed those waters in WWII. Both survived, one had 3 ships sunk out from underneath him on one run . . . the other was a sea captain who sailed the entire war without being sunk.
