The AN-24B aircraft. This is one of the attractions of our city. All visitors to the city are usually surprised by this strange decoration. I see that someone broke a banner indicating why this plane is parked in this place. Most likely, it was done by young hands or feet. I'm talking about the information banner now.
Every day, like many citizens, I drive past this monument of mismanagement. But over the past 2 weeks, I stopped my car 3 times and approached the plane.

I took this photo on September 19th, at about 6 a.m. All the photos I've taken in this place over the years of living in this city fall in the fall. I am attracted by the bright autumn colors of the trees. This time, the sky is also a bonus.
I used an iPhone XR.
There is a bus stop next to the plane and 2 people looked at me with incomprehension.

On September 28, the time is also around 6 a.m. I stopped on my way to the office. The city is still sleeping, there are few cars and pedestrians on the streets, no one bothers to take photos.
9 days have passed since the last photo. The trees have lost their leaves. Now they are lying on the ground.

This street runs along the river and fog is hanging over this part of the city.
This time I was holding a Nikon D5300 with a Tokina AT-X 11-20mm F2.8 PRO DX wide-angle lens. I like this lens. But I haven't used it for almost 2 years. After his trip to Abu Dhabi, he stopped changing his diaphragm. In early September, I repaired it and used it 100% on my trip to Belarus.



I want to sleep. I really want to sleep.
I spent September in the "sleep no more than 4 hours" mode. I want to switch to sleep mode for 6 hours.
