I think I love Lviv most when it is in blossom.
After a long shy winter the trees blush with flowers.
Spreadings the happiness over and in us.
Lviv goes calm and crazy in the same time.
It is like being part a magical show.
That repeats itself every year.
But without any predictability.
För några dagar sedan visade BBC Panorama en chockerande dokumentär om rasismen inom fotbollskulturen i Ukraina och Polen. Det våld och uppenbara förakt mot människor är något som varje ukrainare och polack borde känna en iver att motverka. Att arbeta mot rasism är inte lätt, och det är alltid ett arbete som måste vara långtgående och tillåtas ta tid.
Det är även intressant att läsa kommentarerna till dokumentären på Youtube. Vissa försöker ju inte ens dölja sin rasism (med kommentarer som indikerar att de tycker det är bra att inga kommer till Polen, från ex. Afrika, då besökarna skulle vara ha AIDS!!). Andra påpekar översättningsfel som kan vara riktiga. Men mest bevingat är nog den kommentar i själva dokumentären som polismästaren i Kharkiv har angående att vissa fotballsfans gör Hitlerhälsning:
Nej, de gör inte Hitlerhälsning. De pekar bara i riktning mot motståndarlaget!
Här kan man ju inte låta bli och undra var roten till problemet finns… Enligt min mening är rasism aldrig ett isolerat problem som bara utövas av några få. Rasism är alltid en del av etablissemangets attityd och ovilja att acceptera att problemet finns.
I am slowly catching up with time. Now we have reached April and Early May. April was a months with really switching weather. From ultra-hot to cold as in… Sweden. I prefer Ukrainian heat to Northern chill, actually. And it seems my camera do too.
In Early March we had this real summer weather. Here is some more photos of a wonderful walk to the village Vynnynky and some more walks through the Lvivian outskirts.
This March we got summer. Hot and dry and the forest, flowers, trees and people seemed to be a bit in a chock. Through some walks through Brjugovych forest and Dasha areas – and also through the city’s outskirts – we saw how the the city and nature woke up from it’s winter doze. Lviv is so easy to love.
I got a LOMO Smena 8M camera this winter. After a small repair I started to use it. However, it seems thought that my Swedish viking hands are just too strong for Soviet stuff plastic… so I broke it, after just eight shots… But what pictures, eh? I just love the interpretation of the world it does! So I must fix it again. I will NOT give up!
