all sorts of winter fun on a hot summer day! - visual story in 13 foto .:. EN/RU
Sorry for such a click-bait title, but I just couldn't resist :) Count this as a post for #WednesdayWalk challenge run by @tattoodjay. All of these captures were taken 4 months earlier, but I'd love to dilute your hot summer feed with some frost and snow. ❄️ Thanks God, we had a lot of it this winter - so I managed to stock up well, and I will share with you without waiting for the winter season '2024, as long as it is warm outside. If you need some frost and ice - visit my blog, I have plenty of it :)
Every child sliding down the ice slide has delight and excitement painted on their faces. That is a real energy-efficient generator of endless happiness!
У каждого ребенка, съезжающего c ледяной горки, на лице нарисован восторг и возбуждение. Энерго-экономичный генератор бесконечного счастья!
One may ride down an ice slide on your belly, on your butt, on a piece of cardboard, or just standing on your feet.
С ледяной горки можно съехать на пузе, на попе, на листе картона, или попросту стоя на ногах.
But most kids (and their parents) prefer to use these huge inflatable "donuts".
Но большинство детей (и их родители) предпочитают толстые мягкие надувные "ватрушки".
Of course, sleighs are also a popular form of transport in the park - but on an ice slide they become dangerous (due to their high speed they become uncontrollable and fraught with injury). By the way, pay attention to the cunning design of the sleigh on the right - they are equipped with wheels! one can roll them both across the snow and asphalt.
Санки конечно тоже популярный вид транспорта - но на ледяной горке они становятся опасными (так как при большой скорости становятся неконтролируемыми и чреваты травмой). Кстати, обратите внимание на хитрую конструкцию саней справа - они снабжены колесами! можно катить санки и по снегу, и по асфальту.
Park area is scattered with ephemeral winter architecture - examples of kids and their parents' endless creativity.
This snowman guards kid's playground. Others look lostly at the paths between the snowy trees. Every day during the walk one may stumble upon the new models - sometimes it's an awkward "attempt at writing", and sometimes real works of art / neat snow sculptures (the authors of the latter, of course, are not children, but their parents). In the past, I encountered cars, octopuses, jigaffe, whales (!), beautiful princesses and monsters ... all of this definitely worth making a separate post. (I promise, one day!) Once I even seen a snow coffin (!) housing a snow corpse. Interesting, but we will never know what inspired that sculpture's author ... (perhaps it was a session of sympathetic magic?...)
Этот снеговик охраняет детскую площадку. Другие потерянно глядят на тропинки между деревьев. Каждый день во время прогулки можно обнаружить новые модели - иногда это неловкая проба пера, а иногда настоящие произведения снежной скульптуры (авторы последних, конечно, не дети а их родители). Я встречал автомобили, осьминогов, китов (!), красавиц-принцесс и чудовищ... однажды даже встретил гроб (!) с лежащим в нем трупом. Интересно, но мы никогда не узнаем, чем вдохновлялся автор той скульптуры... (возможно, что это был сеанс симпатической магии?...)
This park has two ice skating rinks (and it seems that at certain moments the ice of the central pond turns into a third - free for all skating rink). One of my colleagues in the office, by the way, tried with his grandchildren a dozen ice rinks in our city, and claims her informed opinion that the ice in Victory Park is the worst in the city :))))) because it is poured literally once at the beginning of winter, and later they don’t care about it, only collect money for entrance tickets and rent skates. (Greedy goons...) But the folks and kids still have their fun!
Этот парк имеет два ледяных катка (и, кажется, в отдельные моменты лёд центрального пруда превращается в третий - бесплатный каток). Один мой коллега в офисе, кстати, опробовал со своими внуками многие ледяные катки нашего города - и с полным правом на обоснованное мнение, утверждает что лёд в парке Победы - самый худший в городе :))))) потому что его заливают буквально один раз в начале зимы, а потом не заботятся о нем, только собирают деньги за входные билеты и аренду коньков. Жадные жлобы...

Congratulations, your post has been added to Pinmapple! 🎉🥳🍍
Did you know you have your own profile map?
And every post has their own map too!
Want to have your post on the map too?
Honestly, I have never felt the snow before
I'm sure that it will feel so good to be under the snow someday
...especially if you wear a warm coat and mittens 🙏 😏
It's my fantasy to slide through ice slide but as you mentioned that ice slides are dangerous because of high speed. Now I am bit confused that whether I should still have this fantasy or not ?
Only if you are kid and there is a heavy metal (or wooden) sleigh involved, and you are little kid that cant control them well if the movement is too speedy --- otherwise its not a big problem :P
Yea, do have this fantasy! and you may add a cup of hot coffee and !PIZZA 🍕 awaiting you after a walk and snow fun ... or even during it! 😏
Oh how wonderful to see the kids play in the snow and having such a fun 🤩
Great captures @qwerrie 😎 love them.
The snowman ⛄️ reminds me, I haven’t posted mine yet hehehe 🤭
I love the snow, it is so pretty.
Thanks for sharing today and taking us along.
Have a wonderful afternoon 👋🏻😊
!PIZZA

I myself would love to live in such a place and one day I will definitely go there. It is very hot where I am now, 40 degrees Celsius.
40 degrees, wow?! I guess in the shadow it is less extreme... sounds like it is not compatible with life, hehe. Have a !BEER 🍻 Malik

What a lovely place!! they all look having so much fun!
Yeah ... a reminder for their parents: dont forget to tear the child away from all the fun and return home in time, before the kidz' ears and feet freeze into fragile ice :)
These are lovely photos--besides being great photos by a great photographer😄--; the snow looks and the slides look inviting. I can only dream... People look so happy that they've made me smile. The heat is killing us over here: we've had 37-38 °C with a heat senstaion of 40-42 °C; my air conditioner is on and the room temperature is 22 °C now, good enough for me if I have all of this snow for myself. Thank you so much, @qwerrie 🖤
Thats why I decided to open my winter folders, Marlyn, that was the reason -- now you may enjoy this coolness, at least for a moment forgetting that you have 38 degrees outside. We have 28 - it is too much too. The nature is withering... have a cold !BEER from my Hive fridge 😅

Wonderful snapshots during winter <3
Grazie Mille! ☘️
Хороши зимние игры. Но всё же летние как-от мне стали более привлекательны.
Моя камера не против чтобы снимать и те и другие. Но фон из отражающего свет белого снега делает кадры довольно своеобычными, не находишь ли? к тому же, зимой не надо охлаждать !BEER 😏
