Evening is approaching, but the heat of the day is not in a hurry to leave. There is not the slightest hint that is about to blow a cool wind from the Baltic sea. In St. Petersburg for several days is abnormal heat.
Crowds of people on city streets and squares, parks and squares. On their faces you will not see discontent or disappointment from such hot weather.
On the contrary: people are happy to take the opportunity to walk along the embankments along the rivers and canals; relax on the garden benches, inhaling the aromas of still blooming lilac; sit in the summer cafes, friendly placed their cozy areas everywhere. On the display of the thermometer +31 degrees Celsius.
The city is always characterized by a large number of tourists, but these days we have an economic forum and of course the number of guests has increased significantly. Everywhere a lot of security and police, the city is mired in many kilometers of traffic jams.
Of course our President is also here these days. The government and officials are discussing economic development programs, improving the level and quality of life, plans for the development of infrastructure and new technologies. They talk about how everything is good and how good our ratings and indicators are in all sectors. But do they remember , being in their elite corrupt world, that ordinary citizens significantly fall real incomes, lack of money for clothes and even food ? Ordinary citizens are in an entirely different world, in which impunity for officials, police brutality , failed pension reform , an exorbitant tax burden and barely enough money to survive. But, friends, this post is not about politics...
I just walk through the beautiful places of my city and enjoy this warm evening, the surrounding architecture, the pleasant faces of people. I believe that all should be well.
"Everything goes by, this too shall pass." Any great bitterness, unhappiness, destruction and misery - everything goes and everything is relative.
Today my walk is as always - impromptu. The phone rang. It was a @qwerrie . He offered to take the cameras and take a walk.
Those who live in megacities, know how difficult it is in our mad rhythm to allocate time for such meetings. It is always very valuable to me that people are open to communication. In fact, I could make a whole separate post about what has changed in my life with the arrival of Steemit , back in 2016, but the most valuable thing is that I met a lot of interesting people here. This opportunity to communicate in everyday life is a good confirmation that we are all real people, not fictional characters from the social. networks'. That's awesome!
We wandered through the crowded streets, stopping here and there to capture some interesting fragments. And of course talk, talk ... Thank you my friend for this communication.
Time is relentless, night is approaching and it's time to say goodbye. But the city is not empty, despite the already late time. In St. Petersburg, the period of white nights and the city does not sleep. This is a great time and let it last and last.
Thanks to everyone who finished reading this post. Love life and stay positive! see you soon ...
