Lavra's Bell Tower

Lavra bell tower. If you get a chance to visit Pechersk, Lavra, I recommend paying the extra fee to go up in this bell tower. It's an especially memorable visit if you are there when the priests come up and play the tower bells by hand. But trust me on this piece of advice: take your ear plugs with you! It's loud!

Walk In Front Of The Camera Please

I have learned to just take the photo if people are walking in front of the camera. It seems to make things interesting.

More golden domes! (2008)

Spring Doesn't Mean Color.....Yet

Mashrutki add some color to the drab beginnings of spring!

Waiting For Leaves

It may be spring here in Ukraine, but it's not green yet! The leaves are still naked and waiting for their leaves.

U-crane

This is Perchesk Lavra in 2008. At that time there was a building boom in Ukraine and cranes were everywhere. Some people began to call Ukraine, U-crane. Then the crisis hit and they all came down.

Before Dominos!

Spring!

Okay, so I took this in 2008 and even though spring is here in Ukraine, it's still not green nor are the flowers blooming yet! But they are coming!
