Suddenly an unusual flashback came to mind, and I decided to look in my archives for photographs. The photos were in the very folder I had put them in two and a half years ago. It was the end of August 2020. In the spring and early summer we were all more or less disciplined about staying indoors, but the further away it became increasingly obvious that the walk ban was from some other story, not about viral illnesses. But walks are walks, but international tourism was banned almost entirely. I remember reading an article at the time on "where you can go on a covid year" and the authors found as many as three foreign destinations. I don't know who the advice would suit - all three countries were not about comfortable hotels and beach holidays.
Вдруг вспомнилось одно необычное впечатление, и я решила заглянуть в свой архив, поискать фотографии. Фотографии лежали в той самой папочке, в которую я их положила два с половиной года назад. Это конец августа 2020 года. Весной и в начале лета мы все более-менее дисциплинированно сидели по домам, но чем дальше, тем очевиднее становилось, что запрет на прогулки - это из какой-то другой истории, не про вирусные заболевания. Но прогулки-прогулками, а международный туризм запретили почти полностью. Помнится, я тогда читала статью на тему “куда можно поехать в ковидный год”, и авторы нашли аж три зарубежных направления. Не знаю, кому могли бы подойти эти советы - все три страны были не про комфортабельные отели и пляжный отдых.
Tourists stopped coming to our city too. Gone were the early flocks of smiling tourists from the east - these groups started their movements between attractions from about six in the morning, because of the time difference early mornings suited them perfectly. During the evening strolls I stopped hearing snatches of phrases in different languages. The pier on the Promenade desolate. "Princesses" used to park there, and you could only see the pier empty if one of the "Princesses" had just cast off and the next was in a hurry to fill the empty space. So I was very surprised to see the four-deck passenger riverboat Mustai Karim here.
В наш город туристы тоже перестали приезжать. Исчезли ранние стайки улыбчивых туристов с востока - эти группы начинали свои перемещения между достопримечательностями часов с шести утра, из-за разницы во времени раннее утро подходило для них идеально. Во время вечерних прогулок я перестала слышать обрывки фраз на разных языках. Опустел причал на Английской набережной. Раньше здесь парковались “Принцессы”, и увидеть причал пустующим можно было только если одна из “Принцесс” только что отчалила, а следующая уже торопилась занять освободившееся место. Поэтому я очень удивилась, когда увидела здесь четырёхпалубный пассажирский речной теплоход «Мустай Карим».

Hello :)))
The sky with clouds is very to escalate melancholy. Covid is a time when everyone was scared. Because there was uncertainty. But it is also a time for self-realization. :))) That's when I thought about photography. :))
