Are you running an Apple? I'll see about converting it. I'll look for a converter.

I watched the vid in VLC Media Player, so I know it plays in that player. They have a version for Apple, if that is what you are using.

Here are all of my pics from that beach.

Now - where is the mysterious first beach with the yellow and blue buildings and bathers on the opposite shore???
Is Dixler right and it is perhaps "Just down the river"?

Osreb - find it for us!! And I want a full explanation for what led you to Kiev!

Mysteries are soooo much fun.......

Check out the Sat image below. Where I marked the spot with the yellow pin is "x-nudism beach 2". Right behind it is beach number 1! You were right, Dixler - they are together.

I shall research more when I have the time in the next couple of days.

Edit: I didn't read your new post.



I don't see the buildings on Beach #1 just now. I'll look more closely later. But, if we solved this, then it was some major teamwork, huh? Putting all the little pieces of the puzzle together from multiple sources.

As I said, my impression was that the two beaches were close together. The reason for that is because I thought I saw a posed vid on DailyMotion.com that showed the Beach #2, but as the camera swung around I thought I could see the blue building from Beach #1 in the background. That, and the fact that both beaches appeared to be on a river led me to suspect they were nearby.

As I said, I've wanted to know the location of that Beach #1 for years. Could the mystery finally be solved??? :D

I had a tendency to bookmark those posed x-nudism vids on DailyMotion so I could have some evidence to look at and refer others to when trying to ID the beach. I'll go through those bookmarks and see if I can find the vid that is shot at Beach #2 but shows the blue building from Beach #1 in the background.

Until then, thanks for all your help Klondike and Osreb.

The first pic is from Google earth, taken at that spot I am calling x-nudism beach 1. The second pic is from x-nudism.

Thats all i need. :) As for the blue buildings - perhaps the roof is a different color. Or they are temporary. I don't know. But we have a match, Dixler.

the search is over.....

cheers,

You'll see the same river, but with different listed locations. Where it says "Black Sea Coast", "Filaki Beach", and "Banana Beach", notice that all the pics were shot at the same beach. So, those locations must be fraudulent. In the past, I researched Banana Beach (Greek Island) and could not find a river. I didn't spend a whole lot of time researching it, but it was wasted nonetheless.

I know that some x-nudism were shot at Koktebel. But none of the Beach #1 or Beach #2 stuff was shot there.

I wanted to point this out because if I had bad information, it is possible that others might have had bad info. That may be why we focused on St. Petersburg initially.

From Google Earth? Do you have a link to it or anything? Because if this is an independently taken pic, then it does indeed confirm the location of the beach. Thus, the mystery would be solved.

Maybe Osreb can find more pics from that beach? :D

I really have you to thank more than anyone for helping me solve MY mystery.

After all, you brought up the question initially. I believe I once put the question up on Coccozella's board, and no one answered. I also spent an hour or so last year Google earthing the St Petersburg area.

Quarries in the Czech Republic and Poland. City parks in Germany. And river beaches in........you know where...:)

It is good to know these places, and now we know one more..

I asked the question on the voyeurweb forum exactly one year ago tomorrow. Never got a satisfactory answer.

Yeah, I know. It's a fun little hobby trying to find out where stuff is. I don't spend a lot of time doing it, but if I have the time, as I did the other day, I'll make a go of it.

It was interesting how the three of us all contributed little pieces of the puzzle to get the mystery solved.



I read a few years ago that foreign tourist gawkers drove the locals away from Englischer Garten.



I've read that you don't need to ask where to find nude people at lakes in Germany because they are all over the place, particularly East German, though I don't think that is as true as it was 20 years ago (also from what I've read). Every time I asked on Voyeurweb where a particular German contribution was shot, the reply was always the same: you will find this at every lake all over the country.

As for the sandpits and quarries in Czech Republic, someone at VW has posted several contributions of pics he took of nude sunbathers and people swimming at what he called "the sandpit". He also said in the comment section that these types of areas are not uncommon in that country.

If you go nude at the beach where I come from, you will most likely be arrested for indecent exposure. Not even female toplessness is allowed.

Thanks again, OSreb.

The first pic shows a large statue in the hills behind the bridge. I Wish that had been visible in some of the x-nudism.com pics! It sure would have made it easier to trace the location.

I've seen pics from the last beach you posted, too. Maybe thats next up to have its location sleuthed....
