I went around Kyiv today to look for some preview pictures ahead of the opening match of UEFA EURO 2012. While visiting the Rodina Monument in Pechers'kyi Landshaftnyi Park, I managed to capture this dramatic shot of a man silhouetted alongside this amazing monument which dominates the city skyline as he played football in the park.
