Hello Ike,

great photo of the Tel Aviv skyline. The colors are really impresive agains the black silhuette buildings. The big one on the left is the same you show in the last photo?

It seems a great place to visit for panoramic photos.

Well done.

Hello Constantino,

very curious street art, stone made trees. I was thinkig how the place looks about 1 thounsant years in the past, were there real trees there? Nice inclusion of the bike locating the place our earth. If we have only the stone trees I would think it is another planet with differentwild life.

Well done.

Hello Malgo,

what a beautiful scene. I really like the inclusion of the man with native clothes. It seems was a hard light to take phot, but you made a great work with the white sand not overexposed. Did you try in black and white? Great note, but I think I'll be tired sayng "Ninafuraha kukutana na wewe" every time I meet someone. :D

Well done great note.

Hi Costantino,

pretty place. Nice the depth. I like the contras of warm light on the path and the cold light around.

Well done.

Olá Jorge,

eu sou fã de estátuas e sempre busca saber sobre elas quando fotografo. Fiz uma pesquisa, essa ai se chama Monument Brodyage. Foi construída pelo prefeito da região a uns anos atrás. Este monumento é sobre uma famosa canção folclórica russa chamada "As Estepes Selvagens de Transbaikalia".

Gostei muito dela e legal você ter fotografado.

Abraço

A canção
On the wild steppes of Transbaikalia,
Where people dig for gold in the mountains,
A vagrant, bemoaning his fate,
Is wandering with a bag on his back.
2
He walks through the thick taiga,
Where only a few birds sing,
He carries a tin can on his side,
His feet are strapped in dry skins.
3
He wears a worn-out shirt
And a lot of different patches.
The cap on his head is a convict’s cap
And he wears a grey convict’s uniform.
4
He escaped from prison during a dark night
Where he was imprisoned for defending the truth.
But he could not go any further
In front of him was Lake Baikal.
5
The vagrant walks to the shore
And climbs in to a fisherman's boat.
He starts to sing a sad song
Telling something about his native land.
6
"I left my wife when she was young
And left her with my small children,
Now I wander aimlessly,
God knows, whether I shall meet her again!"
7
He crosses the lake,
His mother comes to meet him.
”O my dear mother let me embrace you,
Are my father and my brother well?”
8
"Your father has been dead for a long time;
He now rests in the damp earth.
And your brother is serving his sentence,
Wearing chains, somewhere in Siberia."
9
"Let's go, let’s go, my son,
Let's go home to our house,
Where your wife misses her husband,
And all your little children are crying."

Hello Costantino,

indeed the COVID-19 brings to many problems, specialy health and economic problems. Here in my city many stores closed in the begining of the pandemy and many people loose their jobs. But it looks besides that people ignore the health problems and keep going on the street without mask and in crowded places.
But here in your photo the beach with nobody gave a air of naive and untouchable by man hand only the pier showed it not.
Lovely colors and frame.

Take care.

Hello Kasia,

what a beautiful photo. The postprocessing was great and turn your photo into a pretty painting. A large printed version could be great on the wall.

Well done.

Hello Luciano,

what a curious place. So pretty and and at the same time so sad because it is abandoned to the time. Here in Brazil we have many places like that. In Paraty (city in the north of Rio de Janeiro State) one of the first cities of Brazil, there are islands fortress abandoned that ony the 1500´s canons remains. Is sad to loose our history.

Great photo for a historical archive.
