Statue Friday ~ Landscape Alley in Kyiv
This is our famous art space - Landscape (Peizazhna) Alley in the central part of Ukrainian capital. It is very popular both among tourists and locals. I think there are 2 main reasons.
First is that you walk along the edge of The Old Mountain of the Upper City. They say that on this territory prince Kii once ruled. And in the times of Kyiv Rus here at the historical part of the settlement it was concentrated social and political life of the capital. Walking along the alley you can observe awesome views of Dnieper river, historical and modern districts.
And the second reason, of course, is its art space. There are amazing playgrounds inhabited with characters from tails or fantastic stories. I will show you more of it, but now it's just two. And a bit of modern art.
The statue from the 1st photo is turned to be my favorite. And the second one is just sooo cute :) The 3rd photo is a bonus to show some cityscape.
Enjoy!

Взаимно ;). Я когда на голосе писала об этой статуе, после приезда из Киева, мне местные говорили такое название)
Thank you, my friend!
