For a long time, Dnipro was a closed city. In the soviet era, it was a major hub for both the Soviet space program as well as rocket manufacturing.
From my research, it appears that until the early 1990's when the Berlin wall came down, the Soviet Union was dissolved, and Ukraine, along with all of the other former Soviet bloc countries, became an independent nation.
Prior to that time, only those with official business were allowed in the city, if they were not a resident.
This history is evident in many parts of the town.
This particular display of the C-125 Pechora soviet-era surface-to-air missle system is part of a larger display, set in front of the Diorama "Battle for the Dnepr," honoring the thirtieth anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War (although this term is not used in Ukraine, referring instead to the Second World War), referring to soviet resistance during WWII against the Nazis.
There is no way to avoid or deny discussion of military or soviet history when talking about Ukraine and Dnipro.
The past is not the present, and does not define the future.
While modern Ukraine is making efforts to distance itself from communism, the former Soviet Union, and even currently the Russian Federation, to carve its own identity in the world, there are still many museums filled with rich history, much of which entails the soviet era, World War II, and the post-war era during the cold war.
I get sad when I think of war, but it is a part of the human consciousness. It is a day-to-day reality for many people around thee world even as you read this.
Therefore, commemorating great defenses, great battles where good prevails over evil, and honoring those who have fallen, always commands my respect, and my interest.
A little note about this photograph. It was shot in extremely dark conditions, with only the light you see in the background really providing any sort of illumination to the rockets.
I did not have my tripod, so I used a very high ISO of 12,800 and steadied my hand as best as I could. I promise you, the camera caught all the light that none of our eyes did not see. My friends that were with me that night commented how the photo looked better than real life, because it was so dark outside.

The Road to Hana on Maui is infamous for it's curves and its scenery, the former making many people motion sick and the latter making it all worthwhile. This is the Wailua Falls, one of many stops worth making on the trip.
From Wikipedia: The Hāna Highway, also known as the Hana Belt Road, Hana Road or Road To Hana, is a 68-mile (109 km) long stretch of Hawaii State Routes 36 and 360 which connects Kahului with the town of Hāna in east Maui. On the east after Kalepa bridge, Hana Highway continues to Kīpahulu as Route 31 (Piilani Highway), the first section of which is unofficially considered to be part of Hāna Highway. Although Hāna is only about 52 miles (84 km) from Kahului, a typical trip to Hāna takes about three hours, as the road is very winding and narrow and passes over 59 bridges, 46 of which are only one-lane bridges, requiring oncoming traffic to yield and occasionally causing brief traffic jams if two vehicles meet head-on. There are approximately 620 curves along Route 360 from just east of Kahului to Hāna, virtually all of it through lush, tropical rainforest. Many of the concrete and steel bridges date back to 1910 and all but one are still in use.
