Binoculars - Digifox on the observation deck in the city of Nizhny Novgorod. A warning is written on it, "Do not look at the sun, so as not to damage your eyes."
Tourist binoculars of Taiwanese manufacturer Digilens.
For 10 rubles there is an opportunity to consider the city. For this price, tourist binoculars can use exactly 100 seconds. This is the main observation deck of Nizhny Novgorod, as it is located in the heart of the city - on Minin Square.
Such binoculars are very popular all over the world. They are installed in parks, on observation decks, beaches, canyons, harbors, on city attractions and cruise ships, and even at airports. A similar service has existed in the world for a long time, and SeeCoast Manufacturing Company (Alabama, USA) is considered one of the oldest companies in this coin-op direction. In Russia, this type of service is not very common. The business seems to be simple, but involves certain investments. Good binoculars from leading manufacturers cost $ 5,000 - $ 6,000. Due to its characteristics, such binoculars are not susceptible to breakage, corrosion or technical damage and will last a very long time. For example, 97% of public telescopes and binoculars manufactured by SeeCoast Manufacturing Company since 1960 are still in working condition and are profitable for their owners.

Fireworks in honor of the birthday of the city of Moscow. September 7, 2019 the capital turned 872.
Fireworks are considered one of the most ancient decorations of holidays, carnivals and processions.
With the invention of gunpowder, something similar to the fireworks that we now observe on holidays has already appeared. They learned to control it, to regulate its speed, strength and direction. Firecrackers from gunpowder were invented by the Chinese, mainly they used them to expel demons. But in Europe, more precisely in Italy, the first festive fireworks were launched. Many believe that Peter I introduced the fireworks fashion, yes, it is, but it is fashion. And here, few people know that fireworks "dabbled" even under Ivan the Terrible.
Celebratory fireworks and salutes gained the most popularity in the 19th century, it was during this period that the development of chemistry took place. More and more chemical compounds were opened, which made it possible to make fireworks colored. At that time, fireworks were so in fashion that they were launched not only with rich houses, but ordinary people could also afford such entertainment. For example, a salute for a wedding.
The peak of the rise in our country of fireworks falls on the 90s of the 20th century, but today we can hardly imagine any significant holiday without fireworks and fiery show programs.

Old wooden cross on a background of an old brick wall. I found these interesting textures on the territory of the Epiphany Monastery. The city of Uglich.
Such commemorative crosses are usually placed on the grave. But after about a year they exchange for granite monuments.
