The Last Shore
(Edited)
You used to be able to just come to this pond and take a walk. Admire the view, think your own thoughts. That time is gone.
There used to be lots of seagulls here, even swans. Now only the hardiest remain — ducks.
People used to walk their pets here…
…or just come with friends.
Parents brought their kids to play football or watch the ducks.
You could ride a bike along the shore.
Nature was right here — and the city, just two hundred meters away.
You could easily drive up in a car, pull out a paddleboard, and…
…glide across the whole pond with quiet pleasure.
Now the city has taken over this land — there’s no access to the shore anymore. And places like this are disappearing from my hometown, one by one.
It’s just how it is.
It’s just how it is.
Thank you for stopping by!
