A short vignette about autumn in Belgorod
The end of August
With August the sun appears rarer. When it's gray and cloudy, lights create metal blue ambience in the sky, that go through tree crowns putting a shadow on the ground. It gives a cozy and sleepy, even drowsy feeling.
Folks gather at the river, no homeless people and no drunks. Folks are on piers paved with wooden parquet. Many working people came with families after a working day. Camaraderie of friends sitting on the lawn lively discuss latest news of music, culture and sport, and debate. Some of them listen to music muffled by the sound of the water. Many people lay down rugs and make a picnic with kids, taking sandwiches out of their backpacks. Entire families of ducks and geese walk along the shore shamefacedly petitioning people for food.
Couples stay longer waiting through the night to meet the morning twilight.
Green plants grow on the shore, and it looks very verdant. Water is covered with algae and lilies.
White marble of the war monuments and buildings beam whiteness.
The whole park ensemble's duty is to be a solemn reminder of the courage, valor, and selflessness exhibited by soldiers on the battlefield. Heroes have always held a special place in our society, serving as beacons of courage, inspiration, and moral fortitude. Glory to the fallen.
Trees stand as their silent sentinels, their lush foliage bathes in the early morning glow. As the morning twilight builds up, the river gets a little arcane tone, looks as a door between sleep and awaking where time seems to stop. Leaves are swaying in harmony, seem to dance to a jazz melody only nature can compose. Rosy hues of the morning horizon sweeten the mood. River, a winding ribbon with a band of gold, a silver vision. Gentle tranquil moments of the end of the summer.
And it is time to harvest. Alacrity of local workers to handle this corroborates efficacy of labor and its fortitude and cannot be conceived. Contemplation of the magnitude disarms those who are still in consideration. The amounts of crops will awe you. Loads of trucks you’ll see inflict your acknowledgement. Massive care about is appertains to accurate machines designed to expand already what is ample. Bounty of what you can choose and its kinds and sorts is characterized by neighboring regions` approbation. New Russian models of agricultural machines deserve commendable reviews about its quality and its comfort, because they’re manufactured in Russia. Farms across the region pull its wants profusely. Tender-hearted private owners spread its products to local markets and glorify their earnest efforts. Even most fastidious customers are in exultation and besides it is proved by impartial reviews.
A daylight city's walk in the city center
The strikingly ornate superb Empire architecture commands respect, the facades of the central houses are new, elegant and colorful. Empire-style houses have beautiful columns. Builders depicted the city style with great intimacy. The walk along the central streets occupied with alleys of prettily trimmed and well-maintained oaks, pruned aspen and ash trees with magpies, crows, sparrows, tits and woodpeckers glancing out of green crowns. Bike paths are strewn with sparkling chestnuts, pleasant to hold in your hand. September is warm and reminiscent of August; you can walk around in just a shirt without a jacket. Latest newspapers are sold at bus stops, almost every bus stop has an ATM and a bench to sit. New large buses are on the roads. By the both sides of the street placed upscale retail establishments attracting new customers adding a touch of whimsy and vitality to the serene urban landscape. Then by the left an attractive old-fashioned bar at night is looking relaxing. After the long walk you'll see on the left the opulently decorated university building sparking a flood of interest from local people dressed dauntingly stylish as well as newcomming foreigners looking sharp. On the main avenue people ramble in clothes of a myriad of styles and colors. Vibrant folks elegantly create a show of textures and tinges. Elderly people in their clothes pay homage to the old heritage and traditions. Hairstyles, they are also of different colours, some even have braids, women over 40 are usually with curls, long hair or pixie cuts.
