Russia. Streets of Vladimir

Central Russia, our days.
The streets of the city of Vladimir are just minutes from the center.

I like Vladimir. That's why I moved here to live more than ten years ago.
However, there are no ideal cities, and everywhere there are not only advantages.
Unfortunately, Vladimir is also somewhat unpleasantly surprised.
At the weekend took fotik and went to wander through its streets.
Baturina Street, near the city park. This "flea market" is not one decade old.
Strict announcements about the prohibition of trade and fines do not frighten anyone. And this despite the fact that the city police department is very close.

I understand that this is more like a circle of interests among pensioners, and sometimes people really buy something here much cheaper than in stores.
And yet this trade at the road I do not like.
Some kind of echo of the 90s ..

To the question of the historical layer.
Every year the surface of the earth in cities is higher.

I love the details of the facades of the houses of Vladimir.
Especially those that are preserved in its original form.

Beauty!
Even plastic windows do not spoil the appearance.

Hooray! Column!
Honestly, I thought that they were already out of town.
Too many in their place appears devices for the sale of water.
3 rubles per liter, if that.

Planted trees are still with foliage.
The usual Russian November, and even with green grass.
The tree does not hide the big house of the 19th century. Once it belonged to the leader of the provincial nobility Solenikov, and then it housed the local Sovnarkhoz.
I hope all trees survive the winter.

A new transport highway that runs along the channel of the once running river Lybedi.
So now it's called - Lybidskaya.

It can be seen that everything was built recently.
The territory has not yet become overgrown with grass, but the hatches are already pleasantly rendered rusty.
The owner of a two-story cottage was lucky - from the road it will be covered with Christmas trees.

A couple of years ago, on this ladder, it was possible to break legs.
Now it's great. On the ramp, however, without any help to move still is not worth it.

Only bright colors save us from the harsh reality.

Well and reliable protection.

The pain and anger of our roads, as well as the best speed limiter.
Luke.
Every time I drive around the Big Nizhny Novgorod, I try to count their number on the roadway. And every time I get lost.

A ray of light in the dark realm.
Holy Torinese Church. An unusual bell tower and a bright color of domes and roofs. The middle of the 18th century.
And wires like in Bangkok.

And yes! Working next to the column!
Or maybe there is no running water in this private sector? ..

But there are rest areas right by the road.

Many friends who come to Vladimir ask to accompany them to this crossroads.
I do not even know what kind of symbolism they see ...

I see here a lot of interesting architecture.
And it's not pathos buildings of banks and hotels, what's been built in recent years.

I see a lot of garbage ...

OK OK.
Not much.

The Vladimir courtyards.

Yet.

Again beauty.
Such a candy can be made from home, and not zakolachivat would be the windows of the first floor.
But no.

Autumn.

Local cats are not scared, by the way.

Vladimir's ceremonial.
In general, in the historical center of Vladimir there are still a lot of wooden fragments on the houses.
All this is really many years, and it would be good to be able to keep it.

It's nice to walk around like that on Volodarsky or Vorovsky and catch yourself thinking that you're walking somewhere in quiet Vyazniki.

Metal profile and woodcarving.
Notice, the peasants hug.

Ordinary Vladimir.

Of course, not everything is sad.
There are also islands of prosperity and confidence in the future.

And still...

From the remnants of the protective shafts of the Pecherniy (Middle) city, Vladimir also resembles a small regional center.
Especially, if you do not look at the horizon on the pipes of the thermal power station and the neighborhood Dobroye.

One of my favorite houses in the city on Herzen Street.
I will suffer when it is demolished.

Tuberculosis dispensary.
You can safely take a horror film about the hospital. Or about revolutionary dungeons.

Especially the neighborhood allows.

Fantastic platbands.

And a few old first floors.
Surely, there is something unusual in when you look at the street, and your eyes are at the same level with the feet of passers-by.
In the summer, with the girls walking along the streets, it's probably wonderful there.

One thing is bad - probably everything has been measured very little time.

I would like the streets of the city to shine not only with new construction.
The history and spirit of the provincial city - here they are, very close.
It remains only a little order to bring.
