On our journey through now familiar cities of Angarsk & Irkutsk, we pass some interesting landmarks, buildings, and scenery. I especially love the old wooden buildings with the ornate shutters. They are SO close to the roads and SO close together. Here are a few I took today that I like alot. It snowed lightly most of the day, so the lighthing wasn't great, but... You probably have to click on them to enlarge them in order to appreciate them!
Row of tiny, adorable homes on a hilly side road.
This building was across from one of the clinics. I think the trees add to its charm.

All the while, with little else to do, Skip passes the hours in the car, playing his V-Smile Learning Center.
I love the pictures! I wish it were an easy place to visit...I miss it...in a weird way!
ReplyDeleteWow very nice pics, let me tell you, it's been snowing a lot here the last few days and it does not add to the "charm" of anything here, it's just a mess, there in Angarsk/Irkutsk it makes for really nice looking pictures. It really does make me miss being there and the way it looks with snow all over the ground and trees etc. Here in MA, the snow is just a pain, there it's really nice. That children's clinic in Irkutsk looks amazing, is that a new building?
ReplyDeleteall I could think of with the mention of "V-Smile" is Harry when he heard it repeating "V-Smile!"
ReplyDeleteLevi,
ReplyDeleteThe building isn't so new - but certainly newer than most. And Skip sure wishes you were here!
