A Sunrise

everyday life 1 Minute

People rarely think about Chicago as a warm city; for some reason, everybody prefers to talk about cold winter and gusting winds. But honestly, how long are Chicago’s winters? And geographically speaking, do you realize, that Chicago is at the same latitude as Rome?! Just check it on the map!

Geographically (not politically :)) speaking, Chicago is in the South, and both sunrises and sunsets are very fast, at least in comparison with where I grew up. And I love them. Love them, especially for the fact this beauty is so transient, so difficult to catch … but I tried! These pictures were taken ant about 5-45 AM yesterday, and I am sure that 5-45 SM next week will look different 🙂

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
