Nearly all of my time in Ukraine was spent in Kiev. It is a beautiful city, and I love the people and the atmosphere and the feel, but I also wanted to explore outside the city environs. Ideally, I would have liked to travel to Uman and Bila Tserkva, but the timing was not conducive to those trips.
However, I had the opportunity, thanks to Ania and Tarac, to visit the countryside of Ukraine, which proved to be a high point of my visit. Kiev Sea (or Киевском море) is a man-made reservoir north of Kiev, but the scenery is gorgeous nevertheless. I won't make individual comments on the photos, just show you some of the beauty.
And of course, there's always the exception. This is yours truly with my friend, Ania, and her boyfriend's machina (car), an awesome Ukrainian vehicle, a Zaz 968M (Zaporozhets Automobile Manufacturer, located near Zaporizhia, considered a stronghold of Cossacks in their heyday). Tarac even let me drive his baby a little, and I believe Ania took some photos of me behind the wheel.
As I said, some nice pics of a very scenic area, and a chance for me to see and feel the Ukrainian countryside, which I will never forget.
