This panoramic shot of Rostov-on-Don, taken on August 20, 2017, captures the dynamic development of the southern capital of Russia. In the foreground lies a calm body of water, its blue surface contrasting with the bright sunlight reflecting off its surface. Along the shore stretches a neat fence, separating the water from the land, where swimming lanes are visible, hinting at the sporting purpose of this place.
Beyond the fence extends a picturesque zone with trees, many of which are already colored in autumnal golden and crimson tones, heralding the imminent arrival of the cool season. This natural belt serves as a natural boundary between the recreational area and the urban landscape.
In the distance, modern multi-story residential complexes rise, demonstrating active construction and city growth. Their facades, illuminated by the warm evening sun, acquire a golden hue, creating a sense of comfort and prosperity. Among the buildings, numerous construction cranes are visible, symbolizing the continuous development and ambitious plans of the city. The sky above the city is clear, light blue, emphasizing the clarity and openness of the space.
The photograph conveys an atmosphere of liveliness and progress, harmoniously combining nature and architecture. It is a beautiful example of a modern urban landscape, where new residential quarters grow against a backdrop of natural beauty, and the water body becomes a place for recreation and sporting achievements.
