Khortytsia. Clouds over Sich

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

I was born in Zaporizhia, the city on the South of Ukraine. It is a big industrial city with lots of plants and factories and awful ecology. But we have the beautiful Khortitsia, the biggest island on the Dnieper river. Khortytsia was my favorite place in the city, the place with the various landscapes and wild nature. I don't have too many photos from Zaporizhia I would want to show (living there I was at the very beginning in photography). This one I had shoot near the reconstructed Sich, a center of Zaporozhian Cossacks.

About the place

wikipedia: Khortytsia is the largest island in the River Dnieper, and is 12.5 kilometres (7.77 miles) long and up to 2.5 kilometres (1.55 miles) wide. The island forms part of the Khortytsya National Park. This historic site is located within the city limits of Zaporizhia, Ukraine.

The island has played an important role in the history of Ukraine, specially in the history of the Zaporozhian Cossacks. The island has unique flora and fauna, including oak groves, spruce woods, meadows, and steppe. The northern part of the island is very rocky and high (rising 30 m (98 ft) above the river bed) in comparison to the southern part, which is low, and often flooded by the waters of the Dnieper.
