So far, this winter has been much colder than last winter. If I’m trying to be positive, that means that it’s also been a lot sunnier and snowier than last winter. Which is good. (Trying to hold on to the good here…) Anyway, today, being very cold, started out with snow flurries and then the sun broke through. I’ve been trying to come up with a new photo for my header anyway, so the camera went with me today - first on my walk with Laika and later when I travelled to a friend’s apartment. Of course, my fingers quickly froze as I tried to get the perfect photo, but here are the results:
-
- The newest tree art in the neighborhood - a friendly hedgehog.
-
- The statue of Hemelnitsky points tourists away from the $400-a-night Hyatt.
-
- Laika enjoys attacking the snow, rather than waiting for the flakes to drift down to her level.
-
- Shevchenco overlooks his snowy park...
-
- ...and his snowy University (also known as Big Red for some reason).
-
- Can someone tell me who this is? He's very dignified, even when snow-covered.
-
- The snow stopped and sun fully arrived by the time I made it to the Opera House.
-
- The smaller streets of our neighborhood mean that it's almost time to get out of the cold.
-
It’s the guy from the 50 hryvnia bill.
