[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the view from my living room window (many years ago)in Zaporozhye to Medical Institute direction and the one from my old shots. Photo was taken in 1986 as color slide, after then, in 2005, slide was scan to digital format and convert to BW.

Zaporizhzhya (Zaporozhye), capital of Zaporizhzhya region, in Ukraine, a port on the Dnieper River, opposite the island of Khortytsya. The city, founded in 1770 on the site of the Zaporizhzhya Cossack camp, consists of old Zaporizhzhya (called Aleksandrovsk before 1921) and the new industrial Zaporizhzhya, which developed during the 1930s and adjoins the Dniprohes installations and the port of Lenin.

It is a major rail junction and industrial center and the site of the Dniprohes dam and power station, one of the country's largest hydroelectric plants. Large quantities of grain are exported. The city has steel mills, coking plants, aluminum and magnesium works, and factories that produce automobiles, farm machinery, and transformers.

Hi Alex,

Nice work, I like that we have to look through the branches to see the view. It adds a mysterious sort of touch... Well done!

Greetings, Bianca.

Специально для тебя послала еще один вид на Днепрогэс, лови! :)

(Места родные, я недалеко живу, видно 77-й завод - его сейчас перестраивают).

the "beginning" of your photographing career, alex? :-)
nice and interesting view through the branches -
i guess when they have leaves you just look against a green wall?
good job & take care, thor.

In the beginning - as in this is where I started out - and whatever the circumstances this will be the place you never forget. Difficult to make room for 2 countries in your heart.
Nice that you could show us where you grew up.
TFS
Els

Hi Alex.
Very interesting presentation here on your composition. Old years. It is reminding me my homeland years ago. We had similar bulidings in Poland.
Thanks for sharing.

Excellent work Alex in taking the old photo and converting it the way you have. Lovely tones and grain and suiyably framed. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Tasmanian Sunsets II’

So interesting, Alex, that we have built these monstrous buildings all over the world and that people must spend their lives in such places. Good that you were able to improve your life.

Also interesting to learn about these foreign locations.

Keep shootin'

Richard
