Walking on a frozen river.

It was a beautiful, frosty, sunny day.

The frost was light, no more than -10 at night and -2 during the day. This was enough to form ice in the river. The ice was not yet very thick, but suitable for walking, not far from the shore. I grew up near the Dnipro River, so I'm used to the winter river.

But you have to be very careful. In the middle of the river, along the fairway, the ice was not frozen. There, the current was fighting the frost. The ice was no more than 8 cm thick. When it cracked, we were all trembling.

Then I joked. I inserted a knife into the crack. At the same time, it's a coincidence, a loud crack was heard. I was laughing because my son was on the shore like lightning.

Because the ice was as thin and transparent as glass, the bottom of the river was very clearly visible. It seemed as if we were walking on water. So we went to the ice edge and turned back when it became too dangerous.

Going back was not so scary anymore. We walked along the bed of the Leglych River, which flows into the Dnipro.

The right bank of the river is always high. It is interesting to see different layers of soil where the mountain was before.

There was a river port here long ago.

But now some ships are here forever.

Other ships stayed here once only for one winter. But several years have passed since their closure. If all goes well, the ships may still be useful.

But all the ships can do now is watch the fishermen.

Some cats will have a delicious dinner tonight.

And this cat did not want to wait for the fisherman to return home. When the fish does not go to the cat, the cat goes to the fish.
