Kaluga

September 3, 2010

The city is looking better than it did three years ago (see the previous report). You can still encounter wall-mounted support frames for power lines.

Trash cans in Kaluga are mounted on lamp posts.

Yemelya (a Russian fairy tale character).

Hieroglyphs.

The comrade speaks truth.

The lattice grilles that the trees are growing out of (I’m not sure what their scientific name is) are unexpectedly nice-looking.

A plastic mesh fence around a road construction site—like in Europe.

There’s promise for the future.
