Samara

There are many beautiful old buildings in the city center:

They have fantastic signs:

And gorgeous balconies:

Many buildings have arches:

For some reason, when I was here for the first time, I did not have any curiosity to what was inside. But I should have:

The true Samara yards are behihd those arches. With shoes being dried on a little fence:

With the wonderful stairs:

With the colorful doors:

Without any doors:

With impossible brickwork:

With the numbers written on a wall:

With the numbers written on a fence:

And, of course, with the mailboxes:

Look at those mailboxes!
