Ice Pushkin

The photograph captured the image of Pushkin in the ice statue. In the background frosty blue sky and winter park in the city of Rezekne, Latvia. Winter morning Cold frost and sunshine: day of wonder! But you, my friend, are still in slumber — Wake up, my beauty, time belies: You dormant eyes, I beg you, broaden Toward the northerly Aurora, As though a northern star arise!
