On June 28, 2018, in Rostov, a city that proudly held the status of one of the host cities for the FIFA World Cup 2018, the entrance to the central city market was captured. This shot conveys the atmosphere of a lively summer day, with sunlight flooding the street, reflecting off the facades of buildings and cars. The sky is clear, with light clouds, indicating favorable weather, perfect for strolls and shopping.
The architectural ensemble of the market is impressive in its scope. The central entrance, executed in a classical style with an arch and columns, invites visitors to immerse themselves in a world of abundance. To the right of the main entrance is the market building, adorned with a monumental bas-relief depicting scenes from people's lives and labor, which adds cultural and historical value to this place. The architecture of the market building combines elements from different eras, creating a unique appearance.
The foreground shows parked cars, indicating the market's accessibility to residents and city visitors. People walking or standing at the entrance add dynamism and life to the frame, showing that the market is an active center of urban life. The color palette of the shot primarily consists of light tones – beige, gray, white, with bright accents from signs and cars. The lighting is natural, creating sharp shadows and emphasizing the volumetric nature of the architectural forms. This frame is not just an image of the market entrance, but also a reflection of the spirit of the city of Rostov during a major international sporting event, demonstrating its hospitality and cultural heritage.
