Fata Morgana (photo from 2015)
Photo of a cafe called "Fata Morgana".
Poltava region, Ukraine.
2015
The photo shows a modest, elegant building with a red-tiled roof and pale pink and white walls, viewed from across a road.
A sign reading “cafe Fata Morgana” sits above the entrance, and a small classical statue is set into a niche between windows.
A low fence, trimmed bushes, and a stone base separate the building from the street. The scene feels calm, slightly distant, as if observed from a passing vehicle.
Travel often turns ordinary places into fleeting landmarks, remembered only because we saw them in motion.
The road frames such moments, allowing brief encounters without demanding permanence. Each building, café, or sign becomes a quiet witness to journeys taken and journeys yet to come.
On the road, destinations matter less than the awareness that movement itself reshapes how we see the world.
