Another gorgeous autumn day in Kiev. Amazing blue sky. Wonderful foliage. Mood somewhat spoiled by a stupid (what else?) policeman who got upset with me taking photos of a foliage. Pretended I do not understand Russian. Asked him in English and with some pantomime if he wants me to take his photo. He was puzzled first. Frustrated next and than a bit agressive as I continued to do the "foreign blond" act. Finaly he gave up. This happened by him suddenly turning his back and moving few steps to his partner who watched us all the time while smoking. After the policman left us, I instructed Igor to mark the teritory close to where he was standing. Igor obliged.
In retrospect the whole thing was weird. That taking photos of a folige gets a policeman off the tangent is the first one for me. Never thought foliage might be a restricted subject. Anyhow here is the link with - by Kiev police standards - highly classified photos taken today http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=302041&id=519882852&l=c1af8531ff
Almost forgot - today is the day of the October revolution. About hundred of die hard communist and as many policemen gathered around Lenin monument on Shevchenko bulevard this morning.
