Freedom for Ukraine!, a photo from Lvivska, West

Photographer's Note

I visited Ukraine in 2003, it's still analog times for me.
I searched the archive and found some unpublished photos. These are scans from the positives.
I think the city of Lviv is worth mentioning these days.
I hope this beautiful city will survive these difficult times unscathed.
How could such a culturally interesting city be destroyed?
I think Russia will stop the war.

Freedom for Ukraine!

The photo shows the Cemetery of the Defenders of Lw體 (Polish: Cmentarz Obro馽體 Lwowa, Cmentarz Orl眛, Cemetery of Eaglets, Orlat Cemetery) is a memorial and a burial place for the Poles and their allies who died in Lw體 (Ukrainian: Lviv) during the hostilities of the Polish-Ukrainian War and Polish-Soviet War between 1918 and 1920.

The complex is a part of the city's historic Lychakiv Cemetery. There are about 3000 graves in that part of the cemetery; some from the Lw體 Eaglets young militia volunteers, after whom that part of the cemetery is named. It was one of the most famous necropolises of the interwar Poland.

It was neglected after World War II by the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, and at one time damaged with a bulldozer. Since the fall of communism, the cemetery has seen constant rebuilding and refurbishment and continues to be one of the principal tourist attractions of Lviv. (wiki)

Witaj Krzysztof

I sincerely hope that Russia will stop the war, but I fear that Putin is too pigheaded and proud to back down now. Good perspective and framing. Tfs!

The length of the alley is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the cemetery of the Defenders of Lwow. The light is giving good colors output. Have a nice day.

Czesc Krzysztof,
Wspaniala centralna kompozycja. Mam zreszta podobna fotke w mojej galerii.
Sporo udalo ci sie wycisnac z archiwum. Ja niestety tez zbyt wiele nie dam rady juz pokazac, ale postanowilem sobie ze kiedy wojna sie skonczy to musze sie tam wybrac znowu.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M
