Waiting For Spring

Waiting......waiting.......waiting for spring. (2012)

Still Snowing!

Still cold in Kyiv? (2012)

Still Winter

I'm not actually IN Kyiv at this moment, but since I haven't posted these photos yet and I heard today that it is snowing in Kyiv, I thought this would be appropriate.

TSUM!

Dear Tsum, Don't ever change! (2012)

Walking

Ukrainians love to walk. (2012)

Heading Down Kreshatik

I love this photo. (2012)

Winter On Maidan

Winter on Maidan. The snow has since melted but the weather is hovering around freezing. (2012)

Super Cold

No matter how cold, Ukrainians love to walk up and down Kreshatik on the weekends! (2012)

Crowded

How many buildings can you get in one photograph? (2012)

Trees

I kind of have this thing about trees lately. That's the frozen Dnieper behind this one. (2012)

People

I've been reading, looking at a lot of photos and thinking. I want to get more street photos of people candidly but I find it hard to stick a camera right up into someone's face. I just figure that I would be freaked out if someone did that to me so I am a bit timid. But I still want the photos so I decided to give it a go last weekend. Here's some of them. Tell me what you think.

Notice those doughnuts on the kiosk sign behind this couple? They're not bad!

Maidan - Unfocused

Maidan Square on Kreshatik. (2012)

Frozen Ukraine

It was a warm -12C today. It has pretty much been around -15C to -30C for the past two weeks. It's too cold to take my camera out but I did take these photos of ice that had formed on the inside of my windows! (2012)

The Last Photo Of The Social Media New Year's Tree

This is the last photo of 2012's New Year's tree! I hope it comes back next year! (2012)

Tsum

Who would have thought way back when that Tsum would end up with the most high tech escalators that I've personally ever seen in the entire world? (2011)

Sunny Day In Winter

A rare sunny day in Kyiv with no snow! (2012)

New Year's Without Snow

I took this around New Year's Eve. Interesting shot since usually we have snow.

Christmas Market

There was an attempt to create a small Christmas type market on Kreshatik this year. It didn't offer much, but it was a good idea that could grow.

Winter Sunshine

I think that after the holidays we should keep the lights up til spring!

Not Your Typical New Year's Tree!

I apologize for not posting earlier. Life happens here. It lives you not the other way around. I finally got out after New Year's to take some shots of downtown Kyiv during the holiday season. I will post them daily.

Here's the most amazing New Year's tree ever. It not only is 50 tons of lighted astro turf, it also boasts diamond sized TV screens on it's side. It started it's own social media conglomerate and I bet it can sing, tap dance and write poetry as well.
