Architectural Variety



One of many older brick buildings around town. This one looks like it is not being lived in. I like the shutters and just the character of these types of buildings.



This is a modern house.

This is one of many apartment buildings that dot the landscape of Cherkassy. They are very utilitarian in appearance. (Looks similar to the one we are staying in.) I presume they were built during the USSR time frame. There are some newer apartment buildings that look nicer but I am sure that the price is "nicer" as well. I much prefer the older as seen in the top picture. The older buildings are made of brick and have nice masonry handiwork. Most of the bricks are a pretty orange-red. New construction have white brick which I don't find as nice.

  1. Love the photos, so we can picture what you've seen, and lived in, daily. This blog has been a quite a great idea. Thanks for being faithful writers. Doris...I'll keep writing so you have something to read. :)
