How often do you look around when you go about your business? Do you notice interesting details in your city, pay attention to unusual streets, houses, even cracks on the asphalt? All these little things create a special look of Zhytomyr, make it unique, lively and colorful. If you haven’t thought about it before or don’t look around often, then local photographers and just creative people notice the little things that create the image of the city

To create your own picture of the world you need to walk more. This can dramatically change your vision of the image of your hometown. For example, when leaving work, instead of taking the usual route or using public transport, walk down a street you haven’t been to in a long time.
If it’s cold outside or it’s raining, go to the best coffee shop and move on with something hot and tasty. And if the weather outside is great – it doesn’t matter if it’s winter or summer – just focus on the walk. By the way, it is by following new paths that you establish new neural connections, expand your worldview, and finally change your life.
When walking on Zhytomyr roads, pay maximum attention to everything around you: houses, flower beds, windows, balconies, road signs, pictures on the walls, cracks in the asphalt, grass growing through the concrete, glare on the walls of buildings, communication poles (especially the wires that are attached to them – they are often romantically intertwined).
Raise your head more often: a magical action can take place above you – the sunset. At this time, any city changes have a completely different look. The sun’s rays «paint» high-rises, the sky, clouds, random strangers. Everything that falls within the reach of the sun becomes warm and bright regardless of the season.
You can choose a place for a walk at random. It is not necessary to go straight to the city center – Victory Square or Mykhailivska Street. Different districts of Zhytomyr can be beautiful – every place has its own charm.
There are many such places, you just need to learn to pay attention to their features, to notice the same «tricks» that create their atmosphere. You can see such things even in your yard, outside the window. You just have to look.
Such promenades relieve the feeling of anxiety or panic if you have a difficult period in life. So you can break away from the routine or have a good time alone with yourself.
Sometimes, in order to resolve internal conflicts and problems, it is enough to just look around, focus on the details, to understand how the whole mechanism works. Contemplation changes the attitude to life and the quality of time we spend on earth. Simple things inspire not only artists. They affect us as well. The main thing is to be able to see…
If you do not have time for walks, you are a very busy person who is constantly busy, but wants to live these feelings, look at the work of Zhytomyr residents. Some of them are professional photographers, and some are ordinary passers-by who walk the same roads as you every day, sit with you in the same trolleybuses or minibuses, stand in the same queues in shops, or simply bypass the streets.
Let’s notice together the extraordinary beauty of the city, which conveys its breath, its essence…
