23rd March 2014 as stated in EXIF. The Bell Tower Of St Anne's Church on Krakowskie Przedmieście.
Months earlier before I snapped this, the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine was nearing its end, beginning the period of a huge transition in that country. They just forced their pro-Russian president off the office and started writing entirely new page of their history.
I’ll be honest though: even though I followed the news at the time, I had no goddamn clue how incredibly significant all of that was. I can’t say I was paying attention while Russia was annexing Crimea. Everyone is a genius in hindsight but I can't say I had foresight back then.
And the 2014 me wouldn’t believe the 2024 me if I had said to him about February 2022.
