Congrats to Memographer.com! Today this travel photo journal is celebrating its 8th Anniversary!
I am back from my EuroTrip 2019 (Minsk, Belarus & Amsterdam, Netherlands) and excited to open the photo series. The trip, by the way, was fun. In June-July, Minsk was hosting the 2nd European Games. So its streets and venues were full of activities related to the Games. For this photo post I have selected a mix of black-and-white Sport and Street photography. Enjoy!
***Just FYI,
- #Minsk2019 is an official hashtag of the 2nd European Games.
- The slogan of the event is “Bright Year, Bright You”, which references the national domain of the Republic of Belarus and the official international shortening—BY.
