Evening near the city center, looking away from Pushkin's statue.




The steps leading to the harbor were designed as the main entrance to the city.
Since Eisenstein's film, they are also known as the "Potemkin steps." The sides

The Odessa opera house rivals the best in the world, including Vienna and Paris.

After the conference ended, I went for a walk along the Black Sea in the Arcadia
district. Nothing seemed right for a photo, until I came upon this bridal party
posing on the beach.
