RE: South Quarter, Terminal 3, berburu foto refleksi

I like your writing style, it has a certain "lightness." It’s always a reflection of the state of mind and character.

It's interesting how here on Steemit we can see other parts of the world, a completely different world.

I haven’t been photographing my hometown for about three years because of the war, as it can be dangerous; you could be mistaken for a spy or a missile spotter. Once, my uncle wanted to nostalgically photograph the building where his first love lived... Three men ran out of the entrance and almost beat him up 😅

Thank you DJ 🙌 I know about your situation, I wouldn't dare to encourage you to go around and play war tourism's adventure if the consequences is losing you.

Are you living in Kyiv? I learned from some post's that it's a wonderful city. I hope the war is over and you'll have your peaceful day again. Tbh, I still don't get it, is this really a war or gun's mercenaries business war (forgive me, I don't know which news agents to trust).

Lol, poor uncle🥲 it must be an unforgettable first love for your uncle 🤦 but did it worth the risks?

I live in Oleksandriya. It's a small town with about 100,000 residents, right in the center of Ukraine. I wouldn’t call it a village exactly, since we have a McDonald's and various other things, but it’s still provincial.

As for the war, for Ukrainians, everything is "simple" — Ukrainians are fighting for their survival because russians want to destroy us as a state and even physically as a nation (the russians capture cities and bring mobile crematoriums with them, burning bodies to leave no trace).

Many russians are indeed fighting for money, because their army now offers 2 million rubles for a contract (it started with 200,000 rubles, but clearly, their pool of willing soldiers is running out, which is why they had to raise the pay. We’ve already killed about 700,000 of these scoundrels, so this obviously discourages the desire to fight for money. No matter how much they pay, it’s pointless if you’re killed and never get to see money). So, considering the losses on both sides, more than a million people have already died, and calling this a "conflict" as much of the official media does, avoiding the word "war," in my opinion, is a very inappropriate form of "liberalism."

Thank you for your interest in this topic. Have a nice day =)
