This shot captures the majestic 'Rostov Arena' against the backdrop of the picturesque cityscape of Rostov-on-Don.
The shooting date is August 20, 2017, long before the stadium hosted matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. However, even on this day, 'Rostov Arena' was an impressive structure, ready for great sporting events. The view opens from the water area of the Rowing Canal, which adds a special depth and tranquility to the composition.
The sky above the city is clear, with light clouds, creating a sense of a bright, sunny day. The water in the canal reflects the blue sky, giving the image freshness and coolness. In the foreground – the calm water surface, in the middle ground – the coastline with greenery and buildings, and in the background – the city silhouette with dominant modern stadium architecture.
'Rostov Arena' stands out against other buildings with its futuristic shape, shimmering in the sun. Its snow-white structures contrast with the more muted colors of the urban development. This angle emphasizes the scale and importance of the sports facility for the region.
The panoramic format of the image allows for a wide perspective, showing the harmonious combination of sports infrastructure and the urban environment. The photograph conveys an atmosphere of anticipation for important events, the tranquility of a summer day, and the beauty of a southern city by the river.
