Ukrainian pumpkins (old photo from 2018)
Pumpkins photographed in August 2018 in Ukraine.
The photo shows several ripe pumpkins resting on dry soil, still tangled in withered vines and broad, fading leaves.
Their green and yellow skins are mottled, marked by sunlight and time, suggesting the end of a growing season.
Small weeds push through the cracked earth, adding texture and quiet persistence to the scene. Everything feels grounded, close to the land, and unhurried.
Travel and roads are often imagined as movement and distance, yet this image speaks of pauses along the way. Not every journey is about leaving; some are about arriving and staying long enough to ripen.
Like these pumpkins, travel shapes us slowly, through exposure to weather, effort, and patience rather than speed.
Roads connect places, but they also pass fields where life unfolds without urgency, reminding travelers that progress is not always measured in miles. Sometimes the most meaningful moments happen beside the road, when motion stops and attention deepens.
Travel, then, becomes less about destination and more about recognizing where you are, rooted briefly in a place before moving on again.

Yes, sometimes I feel like growing something too. I would especially like to make raised beds so I don't have to waste time fighting weeds. It's a pity that I simply don't have that opportunity.
Old but gold
This is me looking through my old photos from my past peaceful life. I took the photo with a Canon S5IS.
