Greetings, friends.
Rain, rain, and rain. Three cold and wet days. On Monday, I was going to change the tires on the car because my summer tires had become unusable, the treads were completely worn out, and the rear wheels had to be pumped up during the day. But because of the rain, I didn't want to change the wheels.
This morning I saw that the sky had cleared of clouds. How much does a person need for happiness? I went to the office without an umbrella, and in the evening, after work, I decided to take a walk near the circus on the pond.
Last week, music was played here in the evenings, and there were many people who enjoyed the warm evenings and came to see the musical fountain. I met no more than 10 people today. And silence.
I saw a woman who was definitely happy about the absence of people. She was carrying a camera that was mounted on a tripod. I recognized her immediately. I saw her last winter on the city embankment at the same dark time. She was photographing the rotunda.
I had a strong desire to approach the woman, discuss the process of photographing with her, and ask about the opportunity to view her photos... But I didn't do it. I decided that I didn't need to stop her from enjoying the photographing.
I want to come here with a tripod myself, to take evening landscape photos.
A week ago, it was difficult to walk through this place because of the large number of people, and I was surprised by this, but I was even glad that people got such a holiday. I'm talking about the fountain.
Assol. This is a character in a novel by Alexander Green. As a child, the girl Assol heard a fairy tale about a prince who sailed on a ship with scarlet sails to his beloved, and Assol was waiting for her prince. And she waited.
A colorful waterfall. At the top, there is another pond from which water cascades into the lower pond. This backlight appeared only this summer. The pond has become more interesting and attractive this year.
Yes, I need to bring a tripod and a camera. My walk was unplanned today, so I used my iPhone XR to take photos.
Friends, goodbye! Until the next walk.
Well. I wish all my friends, observers, and readers wonderful walks on Wednesdays. And also on Sundays and any other day!
Thanks for reading...
