Skul'ptura "Vodoley"

The only sculpture, reminiscent of a wonderful place that once collected hundreds of people. Pier! Oh, how many in this word are hopes, dreams, expectations of change, striving for the new, the unknown. For us, boys, arriving by boat from overseas villages, it was a whole country, mtolitsa, sruo with its shops, Aquarius, the majestic kaian Kirov Sergey Mikhailovich in a nearby park with footpaths and polished thousands of shoes roots of ancient trees. And the ships ... S. T. Aksakov, Ulyana Gromova, sometimes I. S. Turgenev, men and ships. And Nonna Mordyukova, who pops up with her mighty bust at any mention of Gromova and her Young Guardians. And in the midst of all this magnificence - Aquarius, just a kilometer from the place of its legend, the confluence of Sukhona and the South. Whoever had the opportunity to swim to the edge of the confluence of waters, he will confirm how insidious and deadly the whirlpools in this place are, dragging inexperienced boyish body into their embrace and dragging into the deep of the Northern Dvina, despite the deceptive sand and sandbank underfoot. The slow Sukhona and the swift South, under the sign of Aquarius, are doing their job.

The sculpture is located on the bank of the river Sukhona, in Veliky Ustyug. It is pleasant to walk around the renovated embankment and admire the beauty of the city.
