10th Ulog: Monuments and Statues Part #1

Hello my fellow Steemians and Uloggers!

This is my 10th #Ulog and I want to share with you some pictures of monuments and statues that I took recently, during my evening walks in the city center.

Now let me start ...

«So, you don't like me? What do you have against me and my market?»:

Ha-ha-ha! I encountered the statue of this Bear yesterday on one of the streets. Yeah, nothing unusual, we are in a bear market. But, have a look who is behind the bear! Yeah, it is not a bull, it is a cow (but very close or almost a bull).

Actually, I get along quite well with the Bears (this is an old picture I took 5 years ago):

So, I feel Ok in the bear market :). He-he-he.

A couple of days ago I went to a shopping center. On the first floor I saw a statue of a cleaning lady:

Now, let's talk about crypto ... On Thursday the weather was really very good: it was not snowing and there was no wind. So, I walked for almost 3-4 hours in the evening. I visited many interesting places. And I took a picture of some evangelists, who back in the time, were actively spreading Christianity in these territories here. Those are the monuments of the evangelists or missionaries:

One more picture:

Yeah, those people accomplished their missions. Now, it is our turn, we have to evangelize the crypto and blockchain technologies, because we are crypto evangelists, or whatever they call it. And, of course, some Angels will help us in our mission:

This small golden color angels was at the top of one chapel.

Ok, now let's get to the medieval times. A few days ago during my evening walk I crossed a bridge over the Moscow river. And I saw on the top of the bridge some roman style statues:

A close-up of one of the statues:

Yeah, the Roman Empire was a great empire. But, if there was a time machine I would prefer to live among the barbarians (Romans and Greeks used to call almost all of the people, that used to live north of the borders of the Roman Empire, barbarians). So, that's why let me show you a monument of Yuri the Long-Armed who was a Rurikid prince and founder of the city of Moscow:

In the High Middle Ages and in the Late Middle Ages Knighthood evolved across the European continent. So, let me show you a statue of a knight I saw on the wall of one building:

Actually, I think in my previous life I was some kind of medieval warrior or even a knight. That's me:

I took these pictures 5 years ago in Vyborg Castle: a medieval fortress in the city of Vyborg (Northwestern Russia):

Ok, ok, enough of medieval time's stories. Let's get to the period of Romanticism in Europe (late 18 - beginning of 19 century). This is the monument to Alexander Pushkin and Natalia Goncharova on Arbat street:

Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin was a Russian poet, playwright, and novelist of the Romantic era.

Not a monument or a statue, just a painting on the wall of one building, but it is probably of a person from the same Romantic era:

Now, let's go to the contemporary history/times. On one of the train stations I saw this statue of a building worker:

And this is a monument to Muslim Magometovich Magomayev who was a Soviet Azerbaijani baritone operatic pop singer:

That's it for today! Thank you for stopping by!

Fellow Steemians and Uloggers let us share our stories and see what kind of lifestyles we have! I am always very curious to see how other people in other parts of the world live. Just make Ulogs!
