RedStarMonster Photo

Photographer’s Note

On the outskirts of Lida a black monster with the red star welcomes you to the town...

This type of communism symbols are scattered across the country in high numbers... In every village and town, on every corner - you find those things proudly reminding that the times of Soviet Union stay in the memories firmly...

Wciąga mnie ta opowieść ze wschodu, ale tu aż się prozi o umorusanego, najlepiej nachlanego samogonem maszynistę...
Pozdrawiam...

Wsiąść do pociągu byle jakiego - byle nie takiego. Choć plastycznie urocze.

P.S. Pocztówka bardzo urocza.

Hi J.

Nice, nice picture. And a good example of how Poland is...excellent colours and details.

Well done!

I see your point... this is the kind of photo that I regret I wasn't taking when touring the Socialist Bloc in 1987... I was taking a look at my archives, desperately looking for a red star, or a Marx statue, whatever... I see Belarus is kind of "museum" or "time machine" and good for these icons... I like the contrast and the sharpness of the shot... I have some doubts on that patch of blue sky on the corner...
