Description
Rostov-on-Don, Russia - June 25, 2018: This photograph captures a unique giant chess board located in Gorky Park in the city of Rostov. Taken on a summer day, June 25, 2018, the scene is filled with calm and serenity.

The frame's composition includes massive chess pieces, rendered in black and white tones, which contrast with the vibrant green of the surrounding grass and lush bushes. A white knight, a black queen, and a white pawn stand in their places, ready for a game, but currently immersed in silence. A special accent to the shot is given by the sculpture of a thinker, located on the edge of the chess board, adding an element of contemplation and art to the park landscape.

The lighting is soft, characteristic of a summer day, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The color palette consists of muted shades of the buildings in the background, contrasting with the bright red and white flowers that frame the chess board, giving it a picturesque appearance.

The overall mood of the image is calm and peaceful, conveying a sense of summer relaxation and the opportunity to enjoy a game of chess in the fresh air, surrounded by nature and art. This is a place where one can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse oneself in strategic thinking.
