Город Детства
Автор текста (слов):
Рождественский Р.
Где-то есть город тихий, как сон
Пылью текучей по грудь занесен
В медленной речке вода как стекло
Где-то есть город в котором тепло
Наше далёкое детство там прошло
Ночью из дома я поспешу
В кассе вокзала билет попрошу
Может впервые за тысячу лет
Дайте до детства плацкартный билет
Тихо кассирша ответит: “Билетов нет”
Билетов нет
Ну что, дружище, как ей возразить
Дорогу в детство где ещё спросить
А может просто только иногда
Лишь в памяти своей приходим мы туда
В городе этом сказки живут
Шалые ветры с собою зовут
Там нас порою сводили с ума
Сосны до неба, до солнца дома
Там по сугробам неслышно шла зима
Дальняя песня в нашей судьбе
Ласковый город- спасибо тебе
Мы не приедем, напрасно не жди
Есть на планете другие пути
Мы повзрослели, поверь нам, и прости

Hey Luda I must have changed so much since your childhood but still very beautiful – gorgeous river view with the boats anchored, love the reflections and colours. Each time I go back to England things have changed so much and I don’t recognize many places anymore so it’s quite a challenge to get around but I always enjoy it. Beautiful capture – well done and thanks for sharing.
LudaNayvelt replied
Thanks Kate, I was staying over my classmate friend in Kiev just behind those modern buildings, Those buildings is nothing to compare to soviet area – very good looking and as I understand very expensive. But this is what you get, beautiful beach and gorgeous view on town , gold domes of the city and about 10 min from city center. I would love stay in such a area.

thank you Rick, all those buildings with gold domes are very modern, some contractions still going on, I hoping that crisis in Ukraine will not stop contractions.

Béla Török
Amazing work, dear Luda! The colors are really fabulous!
LudaNayvelt replied
Thank you Bela, I think when I left Ukraine there was a huge park with Americana attractions there, a lot of cafes , picnic place and huge beach area where I spent the most of my summer time on the rented boat. There is not much left for this type of activities. But new constructions are gorgeous, if you of course rich enough to buy them.

I think, it is the same in all East European capitals.In the last few years it had been a lot of investments in whole area.
LudaNayvelt replied
Well, it is same in USA, but it was more noticeable for me in Ukraine after returning back after 18 years gap.
