Let's forget about everything
Let's take a break. I badly need it, not for you but for myself. Before the next portion of Banksy and the context, I had to pick up the pieces. A walk is a cure for depression. Let's forget about all the sorrow and pain for a moment, and just walk together around my city.
It's a nice sunny day today, good weather for taking pictures. But today I'm going to White Cemetery, to put my colleague to rest. He is originally from Luhansk, but in 2014 he had to leave his home with his wife and daughter and start all over again in Kyiv, without friends and family. His colleagues were his only friends here, and we supported him. He died on Saturday.🥺 See, the past Saturday wasn't the worst day for me.
Alright. Today I will not overload you with the latest news and updates. Just a walk.
This is the Cathedral of St. Nicholas. On September 3, 2021, there was a big fire. It badly damaged the unique organ, and the building itself.
In Soviet times, the building was closed and used as office premises, and on the towers of the church hung antennas of the supression system of the "enemy's" radio signal.
Since the early 1980s, the building has been transformed into a National House of Organ and Chamber Music, and a well-known Czech company Rieger-Kloss was ordered for it.
Smile!🙂
This Christmas village stood here all year long from the last Christmas. It was simply closed and left as is.
The entrance of Kyiv River Port.
And the square near it.
Dnipro River embankment
Podil district. It's name has an ancient meaning "bottom". Kyiv is situated on hills, and here the usually high right bank is reduced to the river.
St Andrew's Church stands on the top of the hill and is visible from all parts of the district. Looks like it stands on the roofs of buildings.

This ugly construction expands up. Isn't it?
Oh, look at this. The edge of this house was bent. I have never seen that. But it's still inhabited.
Podil is an old area. It was rebuilt after a big fire in 1811. After it, they started to use bricks not wood. But all around, these buildings needs some serious reparing, not just a make-up.
An old chimney.
I don't remember this tower. Looks like a fire tower or a town hall.
Eventually, something fun for the end of our walk.
THE END.
Many thanks to @tattoodjay for hosting this wonderful challenge. My favorite.
Appreciate the life, and take care!

What a great walk you had! As I read your blog I feel like Im also having a tour and I enjoyed it a lot.
Thank you for your good words. I'm very pleased.
so chilly there now, not good for immune system and body in general
Huh, not as chilly as at the cemetery, it was very cold and windy there. But I'm back home now, warming up )
I love the mural ... people have indomitable spirits!! Sorry to hear of your sadness.... this is a really cr@ppy conflict going on. Stay safe
Thanks for your good words 💙💛
I to find walking a great way to relax and forget about other things and chill
that smile mural is so cool it made me smile seeing it
I prefer seeing the older buildings and the history over modern buildings which just do not have any style
Thanks for joining the Wednesday, its always fun for me to visit the walks from all around the world, getting a feel for communities where people live and what they see on their daily walks
For me, older buildings always are more attractive )
you and me both

I really like your walk and the updated. It's intriguing to learn that the structure you're mentioning has been a National House of Organ and Chamber Music since the early 1980s. It's wonderful that the building has been used in this exquisite and significant way. The fact that the project was contracted out to the Czech firm Rieger-Kloss is equally noteworthy. I appreciate you supplying this information!
Thank you for stopping by!
A very imposing Cathedral of St. Nicholas ! And I like the two fun photos in the end!
Thank you for bringing us along on your nice walk around the city, @zirochka !

Walks are truly like medicine for the soul. You have so much street art there in your city! I've been meaning to ask, is there a way to send you a few copies of my books? I'm not sure if the postal service is still in operation there or not.
Postal service works, and I send and receive parcels regularly. A book! 😍 This is very kind of you and I will be very happy to read your book! I've never received a book from the author itself 💖
We can talk on Discord, I am zirochka#3562.
Wonderful! I’d like to send you my three latest ones. I don’t think we can connect on Discord unless we’re members of the same server, maybe I’m just having a GenX technical difficulties. 😂 You can feel free to email me your info at - [email protected]. We’re away through the end of this month but I’ll get them into the mail for you in early April. I hope you’re having a good week!
Done
Thanks! I got it.
I'm sorry to hear about your colleague. This walk was for him and you. ❤️

Beautiful post! I love it! The snow, the colors, the buildings and the urban landscape in general are amazing!
Thank you for checking it out! It was a gloomy day though. The city looks much more beautiful on sunny days.
I love This Christmas village! The colors and everything do have the power to make you feel the holidays. A thing that I don't feel in most of the Christmas Markets!
