Perm

April 19–20, 2010

Another distinctive feature of Perm comes to light. Every lamppost has a power box next to it.

In other cities, the electrical innards are hidden inside the base of the post, but here they’re put up separately.

Some of the boxes have already been decorated.

Matches (pronounced “speech-key” in Russian)

But there’s enough room for everyone to get creative.

Live beer, beer on tap, best varieties

And not just when it comes to decorating power boxes.
