Snapshots of Ukrainian Life, Fall Edition

A collection of recent snapshots : )
 Enjoy!

Chestnuts + puddles
D's leftover childhood pastime
Some sunsets offer beautiful vistas
Others bring rain clouds
And speaking of rain... nowadays everyone carries a зонтик (umbrella) with them just in case.
I found this cardboard box lying on the ground one afternoon. It reads "Oil and its byproducts".
The Ferris wheel in Gorky Park
And of course, a view from the top of the Ferris wheel! The window decal says Thank you for cleanliness and order and I've got to say, those cars are always incredibly clean. No graffiti, no garbage, no rust!
Rode the cable cars with a new English teacher from Maine. She successfully passed the "drink a beer by the time you reach the other side" challenge.
Mushroom season has opened!

Which fall picture is your favorite? Mine is the oil box- it was such a random surprise!
