TE Show at a Railway Station Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a waiting hall of Chuguiv railway station. As you can see, TrekEarth’s shots are demonstrated there in a special monitor for the passengers’ entertainment on the round-the-clock routine. For more esthetic effect, masterpieces of the world-famous painter Ilya Repin are put astride the monitor. The exhibition is in great favor among not only passengers, but also among people of Chuguiv, in particular the homeless, which are willing to live there to look at such beautiful images right along.

At the same time please accept my warmest greetings on all today’s (April 1) events, holidays, notable days and observances, in particular, the 200-th anniversary of Nikolai Gogol, the 120-th anniversary of the first sale of a dishwasher, the International Day of Birds and, of course, the Day of Laugh or April Fools' Day.

POSTPROCESSING OF THE POST
As a response to the critiques I would like to give some more explanations.
Although this post was on April 1, there were only two exaggerations here. Firstly, pictures in the monitor are rather TE-like. Maybe they are from TE, but I do not know exactly. Secondary, this particular waiting hall is not for all. They open it only for such honorable people as our tourist group.
And finally, not all of Ukrainian railway stations can boast of such artistic waiting room. Only Chuguiv can, because Ilya Repin was born there.

Hi Sergiy,
What a friendly and humanity service provided by the train's company, good moment to learn something through the pictures before the train arrive, lively shoot, distinct image from a dim corner, good shoot.

Hi Sergiy!
Well, you do have beautiful, comfortable waiting halls in Ukrainian train stations!
A very interesting post with the subdued colours of the paintings and the contrast of the bright-coloured pictures on television!
So, TE is well-known over there! I don't personally know anybody in everydaylife who is aware of TE, apart from my daughter who introduced me to it and my close family who regularly sees me busy at my hobby!
Your note is full of rich information about Ilya Repin, and the anniversaries falling on April 1st. I only knew about April fool day!
Thanks for sharing and have a good weekend!
Best regards.
Marie Louise.

Hi Sergiy,
very nicely decorated station.
I see it is April 1st post so may be it is not a station at all?
Now after the day has passed you may update the note :)
