This shot transports us to a bustling street in Rostov-on-Don, captured on July 28, 2018. The focal point is the magnificent Central Department Store, an architectural landmark that draws attention with its monumentality.
The department store building, designed in a classic style with modernist elements, harmoniously coexists with more contemporary structures. The tower with a clock stands out, adding historical charm and recognition to the building's appearance. In the foreground, modern facades with large glass windows reflect the bright summer sky. The lower floors house shops, including the well-known McDonald's fast-food restaurant, highlighting the city's modern dynamism.
The street is filled with car traffic: numerous vehicles move along the wide avenue, creating a sense of everyday urban life. Tram wires are visible, hinting at the city's developed transport system. Pedestrians stroll along the sidewalks, adding vibrancy and scale to the image.
The sky is clear with light clouds, creating pleasant lighting and emphasizing the architectural details of the buildings. The color palette of the image consists of warm tones of the building facades, the blue sky, and the bright colors of the cars. The photograph conveys the atmosphere of a summer day in a major Russian city that hosted the FIFA World Cup 2018, adding special significance.
