An Afternoon in the Streets of Lviv

As I was on a working trip in Ukraine I just got a couple of hours spare time to explore the streets on my own and there was barely time to make the right adjustments or wait for the best light – so I just shot what came in front of my lens while walking through the magnificent old town of Lviv (Lemberg). As you can imagine there is a dense atmosphere right now in Ukraine. Though Lviv was very peaceful, you see a lot of flags hanging from the windows. Not just Ukrainian ones, but almost as often flags of the European Union too. The people here demand change and strive for a better life. I won’t forget the cab driver who hugged me and thanked me for the strong support from Europe. The hopes are high, hopefully they won’t be dashed again. All the best to the Ukrainian people: Slava Ukraini!
