Every year, all over again. After a long winter, I'm drawn to this city, toward the warm and the sun, toward the spring. And every autumn, I'm drawn there again, to extend wonderful summer-like days before the nature will became gloomy and gray for long, endless months.
Let's walk today with 
Duke monument is one of the most known landmarks of the city. It is a bronze sculpture to the first Duke of Odessa, Arman Emmanuel du Plessis de Richelieu. They say, it is the first monument in Odessa.
There are a lot of attractive places for any tastes. But today I share pictures of the Sea Port and Sea Station.
Here you can see the monument in the distance, and Lighthouse and a high-rise of new Sea Station.
If you go down the Potemkin Stairs you got directly to the station. there are 2 charming small parks finished just recently on the left and right of the stairs.
And this is it, view of the port. A place I like to walk, listen and observe. I feel very peaceful and nostalgic here.
Seems that this patrol boat started the engine.
Well, I still have a small chance to get there this year. While the weather is still nice. I just wish the summer never ends, but I know that otherwise I'd not be so happy to meet a new year circle every spring.
I want to finish my post with the song that is familiar to every Ukrainian (and those who were born in USSR). It is unofficial anthem of the city of Odessa.
