Memories of my childhood, a fortress, a cannon and riders on a dragon!
Hello Steemians!
Today I want to talk about my childhood memories. I can not say that I remember all my childhood, but some moments come to my mind very brightly. I remember my street, I remember my house where I lived with my grandparents... I remember the way to school... Sometimes I really want to just take the metro and get to the area where my childhood passed, where every house and every street are familiar to me. Sometimes this desire is very strong, but for some reason there are always more important things to do. I look at my old photos and smile at my memories very often . And you know, wherever I live after, it will always seem to me that the old house of my childhood was the best!
In those distant times we lived on the so-called Petrograd side. This is one of the oldest areas of our city. There was a taxi park opposite my house and every day I watched as from it go around on taxi orders. And from my window was seen the spire of the Peter and Paul Fortress.
It was with the Peter and Paul Fortress that the construction of my beautiful city began! In this fortress there is a cannon, which shoots exactly at 12 o'clock (noon). This is such a tradition in St. Retersburg until now.
During the shot the windows rang and the floor trembled in our house, and from the surrounding roofs flocks of pigeons rose to the sky. I still remember this feeling how I shuddered at the gunshot. I remember how we went for a walk to the Peter and Paul Fortress on weekends with my mother, father and younger sister. The road to the fortress lay across the park, then we crossed the road and then crossed the Neva River along the wooden bridge. I remember that it was always cold by the river, and my sister and I were dressed warmly so that we did not catch a cold.
What a funny clothes it was then! :)
I remember how we walked around the fortress, went inside. But the favorite place for me and my sister was a dragon tree! It was an old tree that fell to the ground from old age, for some reason this tree was left lying right by the wall of the fortress. Some unknown craftsman saw a dragon features in this tree and painted the dragon's teeth and eyes. Every time we walked in the fortress, we always came to the dragon on a visit :)
We fed him and sat astride. It seemed to us that we are dragon riders! What kind of fantasy does not happen in the child's head! :) Now, after many years, of course there is no tree no more, the bridge has decayed, my sister and I have long been adults and many things have changed. But I will always remember our walks ...
Memory is an amazing gift that brings us back to the past...
I hope that you remembered your childhood by reading my post! Please tell us about the most vivid moments of your childhood about which you remember,

Of course, many of us remember the street of their childhood. We also remember places where we liked to walk and spend time. We remember our house and games we were played. This can not be forgotten. So we want sometimes we come back in our past not for long time there ... Thanks for memories :)
I would be very interested to hear a story about your childhood. I think that you have many interesting stories! :)
I didn't know that we had at 12.00 shot out of a cannon !!! How exciting!!! You were a very cute kid! I like these red pants and cute red boots!!! Wonderful childhood memories...My city is far from here, I can't get there on the metro ;) And I'm a little afraid to go back and see my hometown with new eyes...what if my city is not the same as I remember it...but I cherish the memory of the many bright memories about my past in Novosibirsk !!
