This photograph transports us to the heart of Rostov-on-Don, Russia, capturing the majestic Southern Federal University building on June 21, 2018. The city night envelops the architectural masterpiece, but artificial illumination imbues it with a special magic. The building's facade, rendered in a classical style, is illuminated by a warm yellow light that emphasizes its details: columns, balconies, and elegant stucco decorations.
The night lighting creates a contrast between the dark sky and the brightly lit architecture, making the building the focal point of the composition. Green trees, growing along the street, add softness and naturalness to this urban landscape. In the foreground, a roadway is visible with moving cars, their headlights and taillights creating dynamism and a sense of life.
On neighboring buildings, signs of shops and cafes are visible, illuminated by bright neon lights, which enhances the atmosphere of the night city. A large banner with an image of the sun and text hangs on one of the buildings, creating a feeling of celebration or an event. This image conveys the atmosphere of a bustling city where history meets modernity, and science and culture illuminate the path to the future.
