The Sun Appears



After an entire week of overcast skies, sub-freezing temperatures and snow, the Sun showed its welcome face today. I left the apartment at nine for an excursion to Kyiv-Pecherska Lavra, taking the Metro to Arsenalna, where I came up to see blue sky and sunlight for the first time. The wide sidewalks of Hrushevs'kovo, which connects Arsenalna and Pechersk Lavra were filled with pedestrians (including, wonder of wonder, children!), and everyone seemed in very good humor. When I took a picture of the sun on the sidewalk, some utility workers called to me, "What about us?"
