From an old courtyard in the city center:
-------
The photographer is an armed version of the solitary walker reconnoitering, stalking, cruising the urban inferno, the voyeuristic stroller who discovers the city as a landscape of voluptuous extremes. Adept of the joys of watching, connoisseur of empathy, the flâneur finds the world 'picturesque.'

Interesting to see the world where you live at the moment, from your perspective.
Stalin as a piece of nostalgia?
I love the pictures! I really like the bench at the bottom too. I'd love to have one just like it!
It's amazing how some photos can make a place seem more for lack of a better word "romantic."
I like them. :)
