Ukraine

Just walking around, I found this bridge, with hundreds of locks locked into the railings. I took some photos, wondering why the locks were there. Later that night I asked a local, and she explained that the locks are put their by lovers to signify the attachment. I returned the following day, and took some more photos - and here's the result which hopefully captures the essence of the bridge!

There were several street artists on Deribasovskaya street, right next to the Odessa City Garden (Gorsad). This street painter was quite good, painting a portrait of a pretty Ukrainian lady.

This young couple were enjoying the summer sun on Potemkin Stairs - I captured her deep in thought while her boyfriend was eating snacks.

This busy park is on top of Potemkin Stairs, with lush foliage as the canopy.

Here are the reflections of the windows fo Morskoy Vokzal Passenger Terminal. Reflections show some of the artwork in front of the terminal, as well as Potemkin Stairs in the distance. It's also a self-portrait - I'm reflected in the center near the bottom!
