There is a Botanical Garden in my native town. This is one of my most favorite places. Long time ago, in 90s and in the early 2000s, this garden for some reason was not popular with the citizens. On weekdays, there were very few people, and if you come back to the very opening, you could even catch an hour when there was a feeling that you're all alone in this huge beautiful garden, as that the whole garden belongs to you alone. Therefore, I especially loved to walk there on weekdays. Today, the garden is very popular place with citizens. It looks modern and well maintained. But earlier, the garden seemed semi-wild. There were no paved paths, no snack/water sales points, no Greenhouse’ modern building and no people’s crowds in it. But exactly this old semi-wild garden, which will always be in my memory, was especially beautiful and charming... I remember how I wanted to get lost in this garden, in its shady alleys and near its Swan Lake ... This photo was made in 2005 with very old and simple 1 Mpix digital camera. For me, from this photo breathes absolutely incredible and fantastic warmth. Because it is about sunlight. And about the lovely place of my native town. And about the time at which I want to return again and again... The time when I was a young boy and the garden was semi-wild, sunny and spacious... And no matter what country and in what city I’ll live, this warm old photo of the Botanical Garden in my native town will always remind me about Home and associates with the Home, which is always warm and cozy and happily... This place will remain in my heart forever.
