There is beauty wherever you look It is almost impossible to describe the beauty of this magnificent city. I have been there now several times during summer, autumn and winter and whenever I came it felt like everything around me welcomed me. The air, the sun, the houses and even the frost were friendly. I made friends with the streets of the city, the parks and a number of people. I stayed in a private flat during that time. Actually it was 2 different flats that I got to know and if someone is planning to go to Kiev, I will be happy to give some advice. There are around 2,000 photos in my file now and it is somehow difficult to make a selection.
I have spent countless hours to write the descriptions to what I have experienced in Kiev, I also spent many, many hours to prepare and optimize the corresponding images. Sometime in 2006 I reached the # 1 notch for Kiev - but in May 2006 the VT management decided to make a book on various destinations using the resources from the VT community. A use in a commercial way of what thousands of other VT members have contributed here. I guess every community member received this announcement. Yet since they all MUST agree to disclaim their intellectual property (and their copyrights) prior to using this website, I decided to remove the major portion of my contributions about Kiev. This is because I dislike that someones takes advantage from my materials commercially. And this is why in many cases you will find my texts being truncated and the images miniaturized to thumbnail size.
If anyone is interested in more information on this wonderful city, I will be glad to help on a direct and individual basis. - Bobek 28 May 2006 |
