If a person goes to the Sea shore in the city center of Odessa and looks to their right, Southward I guess, they will see kilometres of beaches and parks, outdoor beergardens, and beautiful landscape. If they look to their left, they will see the picture above - the beautiful Port of Odessa and all the machines that go along with it. I stood there and looked at this sight and wondered how every single postcard photographer, during both the Soviet and Post Soviet Era, managed to never take a picture to their left. It exists, is part of the city, yet never appears in any books on Odessa except for those designed for economic enthusiasts -the very same people who do not care at all about the other views. I am glad not all the world are made up of economists and not all governments take their advice from economists, otherwise this is the view that would prevail and people would have to enjoy the beach and swimming at the same time as trying to avoid large container ships passing through.
