Great photo from a great city. I will be back in Kherson in December and I will look for this “piece of art”. Veronica, do you live in Kherson or were you just visiting? I live in Michigan USA but the “Kherson magnet” continues to pull me east!
Jordan, this photo was taken by Dan McMinn, who used to live in Kherson. His blog is Orange Ukraine. I’ve been to Kherson a few times, but I’m from Kyiv. The pictures of the playground are totally surreal :)
Best of luck to you and have fun during your visit to Ukraine!
Veronica
I have family in Kherson and have been there to visit them twice and absolutly love it! Great Pictures!
