This street from my childhood... ofcourse,it's new photo on digital camera, but Here, on that street when I was small, I'm walking with my grandfather(he is wonderful, i love him, he is my best friend) Now I'm not offen be there, but when I'm going to my very-very old grandfather and grandmother, I'm always remembering my childhood. THis houses was building by Germans after war.
But...why this street(Chabatarow's street), my grands is living on other street. Because when I want to come home after meeting with my grands, I need underground(metro) and I need to go on this street.

***
this song from my childhood - Yury Shatunov - "Childhood" (translation by promt(~bad translation=)~)
The childhood, you where run
The childhood, you where hasten
I have not played enough with you
The childhood, you where? Wait.

And I want, and I want again
On roofs to run, pigeons to drive
To tease Nataly, to pull for hair
On a skateboard to rush on a court yard

The old woman look to us
Do not learn yesterday's squabblers
And we with Nataly on a court yard go
Also is not present to us has put more about what

And I want, and I want again
On roofs to run, pigeons to drive
To tease Nataly, to pull for hair
On a skateboard to rush on a court yard

The childhood, you where is has left
Where a cosy corner has found
With the childhood of the darling to me to not catch up
It is necessary to recollect with grief

And I want, and I want again
On roofs to run, pigeons to drive
To tease Nataly, to pull for hair
On a skateboard to rush on a court yard

***
Детство, детство, ты куда бежишь
Детство, детство, ты куда спешишь
Не наигрался я еще с тобой
Детство, детство, ты куда ? Постой.

А я хочу, а я хочу опять
По крышам бегать, голубей гонять
Дразнить Наташку, дергать за косу
На самокате мчаться по двору

Старушку искоса на нас глядят
Не узнают вчерашних забияк
А мы с Наташкой по двору идем
И нет нам дела больше ни о чем

А я хочу, а я хочу опять
По крышам бегать, голубей гонять
Дразнить Наташку, дергать за косу
На самокате мчаться по двору

Детство, детство, ты куда ушло
Где уютный уголок нашло
Детства милого мне не догнать
Остается с грустью вспоминать

А я хочу, а я хочу опять
По крышам бегать, голубей гонять
Дразнить Наташку, дергать за косу
На самокате мчаться по двору

ciao Aliaksandr
i like this intense and real atmosfere of your childhood place..
it look like you used a filter (sepia i suppose).. in any case the final result of your capture has an old looking really moody..
interesting architectures of the buildings.. details of the street and the lamp..
good also the choise for a tilted framing.. it increases the mood and the sensation of melancony!!.. ;))
a good job indeed! my compliments
ciao Marco

Bonjour Aliaksandr ,

Excellent details and sepia tone of colors,
I love the manhole of the front of the picture, sidewalk and perperpective, excellent architecture and all,, we love our childwood place...
Have a good end of the day..
Michel

Hi Aliaksandr!!

you made me melancholic :-).. very nice presentation! well done shooting angle, it really gives the idea of a retrospective and creates along with the sepia a beautiful and melancholic mood!
I salute the existing child within yourself!
D.

you make this place look very old.. :) nice used of sepia and the old effect, Alik.. is it quiet there? nice old building shown here.. i like the architecture design very much.. it reminded me of an old Kota Kinabalu which i only saw in the picture.. too bad only one left here..

you should visit them, Alik.. make an effort.. i remembered i always went to my grandparent's home when my grandpa is still alive.. i stayed there for 1 week to 2 weeks like that.. what i remembered most of them their love for each other.. very romantic couple.. i love watching them together.. i even wish i find someone who love me like their love for each other.. haha silly old me.. now my grandma live with my aunt after she got ill since the passing of my grandpa..

now now enough about my story im being sentimental.. but you made me remembered them again.. thanks for sharing..

regards, terry
