This year's spring weather is particularly varied. On the first of April it was almost +20°C, literally a few tenths short of this round beautiful figure. Even in the evening it was warm, I walked until

It was a beautiful sunny day and I decided to take a walk around the suburban park. I was worried that the weather might suddenly turn bad (it happens in the spring!) and I chose the park for the walk

One of the old neighbourhoods of the city is called "The Five Corners". The origin of this name is transparent, the main attraction here is a complex intersection and a house with a tower on

I stared up at ‘The Griffin Hotel’, wondering if that very top window could ever be viewed from again. One section was gone, the other intact and the rightmost swinging around in the wind. Was there any

One of my favourite city embankments is the Sphinx embankment. Last year this embankment was closed for renovation and you couldn't walk along it - you could only look at it from afar. The terrace that
