Hold on to you seats, ladies and gentlemen (or perhaps go and get yourself a snack or something) - see, I've got twenty-five photos for you in this post, and they may take a while for all of them to load. This afternoon, as the weather was still wonderful, I decided to take the bus out to Dobroye for the purpose of photographing some things, both interesting and mundane, which I'd spotted when I was out there last night. So here goes:

Butterfly apartments

Other Soviet-era decor.

Buildings in the suburbs tend to look pretty much the same.

At least the sky was beautiful.

An up-close shot of some random balconies.

Update: Thanks to Maxim for telling me the name of this church:

thank you for wonderful pictures! I'm a Russian who's lived in NY for 25 odd years, so it's neat to see these pics and get your perspective on things. Thank you!
