The weather wasn’t very good for sea swimming today. It was raining during the night and sun was still hiding behind clouds in the morning. So Maxim and I went for a little walk in the downtown instead of the beach. Better even, we walked a couple of streets that I’ve never walked before. Made a few shots.
