Lilacs on the Field of Mars
Long summer evenings are not a time when you want to sit at home. Warm summer air, soft evening colours, the scent of blossom and the pungent smell of freshly cut grass. If it's late May or early June, I often choose the Field of Mars for a walk. In this post, I've combined photos taken during two different walks. One of these walks happened on a cool, overcast, windy day. The other time the weather was warm and sunny.
The Field of Mars is a garden in the historical part of Saint Petersburg. Originally, the Field of Mars was a large square designed for military parades. But now it is a garden with extensive lawns, which has become a place of attraction for anyone looking for a quiet place to relax.
In the centre of the garden there is a memorial dedicated to the 1917 Revolution. The rest of the garden is occupied by lawns and flowerbeds, and lilac bushes are planted around the perimeter of the garden and along the central alleys. Lilacs have long been an unofficial symbol of the Field of Mars, and the tradition of admiring lilacs has taken its place in the calendar of city life.
Of course, the Field of Mars is not the only place in the city where you can admire lilacs in bloom. Lilacs grow in many gardens and parks, on boulevards and in city yards. The most representative collection of lilacs is located (quite expectedly) in the Botanical Garden. About 150 different varieties of lilacs are grown in the Botanical Garden. There is no such wide variety on the city streets, but you can see all shades of lilacs, from white to dark purple.

Bad news: Saying see you later to Hive! 👋
We didn't get the needed support to continue cXc.world on Hive, as our DHF proposal lacked votes, but [Good News Everyone] cXc.world will add a Markdown copy button, allowing you to easily share your music + music you find on Hive.
For now, we're on WAX, with tools you can use to mint your own Music/Media NFT collection.
