Hydropark in Kyiv

Kachalka at Hydropark, Kyiv, up close The details are the attraction here. A stack of worn plates rides a homemade frame, held together with welds, bolts and chain, next to an old tire and a pipe that serves as a handle. Nothing matches and nothing is padded, so wear gloves, test each machine gently before loading it, and ask a regular how it is meant to move. Donations, not fees, have paid for its lights and repairs.
