Rostov-on-Don, Russia, June 28, 2018. This photograph transports us to the bustling Soborniy lane, captured on a summer day. Bright sunshine illuminates the paved streets, casting a warm glow on the building of the Rostov State University of Justice. People stroll leisurely, enjoying the city's atmosphere. In the foreground, a woman in a white dress sits on a bench, lost in thought, perhaps admiring the paintings displayed on easels.
Neatly trimmed trees in planters line both sides of the street, creating a green avenue. Tall lampposts with elegant lamps add a touch of refinement to the urban landscape. A sense of tranquility and summer relaxation permeates the air. In the distance, the golden dome of a cathedral is visible, adding spirituality and grandeur to this picturesque corner of Rostov.
The mid-ground showcases the dynamism of city life: passersby, tables of a summer cafe under a blue awning, and parked cars. This shot perfectly conveys the atmosphere of a summer day in one of Russia's most beautiful cities, where history and modernity harmoniously blend.
