Russian Architecture

When I have free time, I like to check out new places and walk in different streets to get to know where I live.

  

Just apart from the main street in the city, I found this nice and cozy street hidden from the crowd.

There are many old buildings around.  Looks like the state preserves it as it is.  These buildings probably built since the  soviet union period.  It looks classic and charming which make this area very amazing.

 

 

 

 

 

Unlike Moscow, Perm city is a well reflection of Russia as a country with old and new in between.  Where I can find modern boutiques comply with classic housing perfectly.

  

Cute little church, the inside was very nice but not allowed to take photo.
  
 Last photo of the day with this beautiful flower. Good day!

Art and Culture: White Night

     This weekend I had the chance to visit “White Night Festival” in Perm city. It’s annual event held in June every year.  The name “white night” in Russia is well-known as the period of time between June-August which is summer time.  The day time is longer than night such other cities as St. Petersburg, Petrozavodsk or Murmansk. At this period in Perm city, the day time is last until 10 pm.  It is typical phenomenon in northern countries which located near the north pole.

   So people have more time to enjoy their activities, so do I!

         

     The “White Night Festival” has the aim to promote city tourism.  Focusing on art, creativity and culture.  Where you can find wood carving sculptures,  handmade products, contemporary arts, paintings, shows and good music.
