I love you, Odessa!

 Hi friends! 

How difficult it is to be silent about Odessa. This is the city I love with all my heart! 1000 times you walk through familiar streets, but it feels like you're here for the first time. It's a wonderful feeling! I want it to always be like this... No one and never can break your spirit and grace, the beauty and breath, dubbed and kindness. You are filled with love of inhabitants of Odessa and guests, artists and poets, sculptors and architects, doctors and teachers.

Love for you are endless! And yours the nighttime the sky! After all, the stars Shine like diamonds, and the sea - a dark emerald. Wherever I live, I always come back to you, my Odessa! What could be better than the humor born on Privoz and Odessa old courtyards with its flavor?! Or dancing in the city garden of Odessa?

Under the clear sky, you gather all: and friends and enemies. You can do it gently and naturally, tightening the network of his love... And we are very grateful to you for the tender care and love that you give in everything.

How do you just not call. The city of love and happiness, the city of humor and laughter, the city by the sea, the city of creativity and inspiration, Odessa-Mama, Pearl by the sea, little Paris, hadzhibey, the city of artists, the capital of humor, hero City, my Muse... You really multi-faceted in all my Odessa!

Greek square. In the days of my student life in the Greek square were the final stops of public transport. How beautiful it is now! This is a wonderful architecture and a place to relax, fountains, new homes! Everything is changeable in our world, but you are constant in your beauty, my Odessa!

Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral. Built in the 18th century, destroyed in 1936. I remember the time in 1996 when the Cathedral square was excavated and the Foundation of the Cathedral was fully visible. We wandered around and had a quivering feeling of touching the history of the city. Then before my eyes was recreated a new beautiful Cathedral, which gives harmony Cathedral square. Magnificent structure both outside and inside. Cathedral square. Fountain-a monument on the Cathedral square, in honor of the appearance in Odessa city water supply. This was a significant event!

Deribasovskaya Street.

In an unequal battle monument to the Governor-General M. S. Vorontsov survived! Could not destroy in due time, the tractor did not pull such block. Thus the spirit Vorontsov M.S. proved its globalism in the history of the city.

The magnificent old Privoz in Odessa is a symbol of the city.

Today we will consider another monument, which is a symbol of The new Privoz in Odessa. Magnificent bronze sculpture of 2.5 m very vividly conveys the mentality of Odessa ladies who have already raised their children and are on a decent holiday. Odessa young ladies at this age walk with grandchildren and very much like to chat about life. The collective image of aunt Sonya was very clearly conveyed by the sculptor Igor Ivchenko. The architect was Illarion Stadnik. The unveiling of the monument in 2006, there has been much discussion about who looks like aunt Sonya. Someone put forward the view that it is Madame Storozhenko (B. Kataev "lone White sail"). We disagree with this assumption. In the novel by V. Kataev way Madame Storozhenko is a vendor that does not cause respect. The Odessa aunt Sonia is full of love and wisdom which she carries to the world.

Consider clothes and accessories feminine aunt Sony. Very carefully dress sits on a lush figure. From above apron with pocket, on which pin from "bad eyes." The wide-brimmed hat adds charm to the look and protects from the burning sun. Mandatory add-on is beads. Odessa girls love to decorate themselves. Model and comfortable shoes look very exquisite. Even aunt Sony's rack fully conveys the image of Odessa women at a respected age.

Odessa bulls! This is another symbol of our southern Palmyra. Catching bulls is the tradition and pleasure of the inhabitants of Odessa. Sea, fishing rod, fresh air and gull-giggles! What could be better for a holiday? After working days you will be alone with the sea and only the sound of the surf. Men pensioners spend a lot of time by the sea. And at home his wife is waiting for a catch for dinner. And part of calves can sell in the market. Note how carefully the bulls hang on the shoulder of aunt Sonia. She lovingly holds a bunch of fish.  On bringing a bunch of bulls-it's like a password for communication and the spirit of Odessa. Not to sell the main goal of aunt Sonia, and show yourself and others to see. Need to find out all the news below to keep up with modern life in Odessa.

And here is the image of Odessa plump cat who always feels master of the situation. He's right. In Odessa like fluffy animals. At first, eats the cat, eat Breakfast and then family. Let's see how persistent the cat is stepping on the foot aunt Sonya, begging for a piece of fish. But he does not understand that aunt Sonya now was going to go "light" and set it on a cheerful conversation in fish row. The cat's name is Timothy and name immortalized on the paw of the animal.  Muzzle Timothy like to iron the kids, so it glows.

The sculpture turned out to be very successful and loved by all. Aunt Sonia Yuzhanka with a warm and tempered character. On a New supply it brings luck in trade. The first morning earnings Odessa merchants necessarily need to RUB the nose aunt Soni. And a coin to put in the pocket of the apron for good luck. Please note that the spout aunt Sonya smeared to Shine.

Come to Odessa and don't forget to go to aunt Sona on Odessa Delivery!

I want to draw your attention to the beauty of the architecture of houses. I am very pleased that in Odessa, many houses have been restored, and the next are in line. Me three years wasn't in the country and especially the contrast of changes is visible and our Odessa is worthy! Of course, it is impossible to restore all the houses at the same time, but today the majority already look very decent.

Today the most beautiful house on Sadovaya street in a deplorable state. But the decision has already been made and found the means to restore it and this is great news! The bottom on photo this a lovely house. The following photos show that many houses have been adequately restored. This is only a small part of what has been done over the past few years. But at heart it becomes lighter as it is visible that history and architecture of Odessa try to keep and update.
