Re: Trip to Ukraine

What a great set of photographs Henning... really great!

:-)

Thank you very much, Jim. They're mostly just grab shots on the way by, especially all the ones on the miserably rainy days. I posted them mostly because they are of an area of the world that many have connections to but little real reason to visit, especially since the infrastructure is rather poor. 
I'm happy if some of the character comes through.

My wife and I travelled a bit in the Ukraine end of September; mainly to see some of the places that her ancestors emigrated from over 100 years ago. We flew to Lviv via Warsaw, and rented a car there. This is obviously a NEW THING for them, and was frought with some unforeseen events. We met few other tourists, and all were with tour groups.
Lviv is a wonderful city which was the capital of the Habsburg province of Galicia, and was not terribly damaged in the wars.
From Lviv we drove south to Chernivtsi, a small city in the old province of Bukovina, and found towns and places of the ancestors, and also other things. It rained all except one day of the six we were there, and it was quite cold as well. Never the less, we had a great time and it was definitely worth the effort. 

 Camera was the M8 with the most used lenses the WATE, 28/2 and 50/1.4 ASPH.

These are mainly tourist photos, and not of great photographic quality. I hope they are interesting.
