Soul of the city

Each city has its own business card. Some kind of bright showplace
. She is depicted on postcards and souvenirs. The city is recognized by it among hundreds of other cities.
There are such sights and Sevastopol. The Internet search engine will return several at once upon request. But they will not have what I call the soul of the city.

These are his courtyards, streets and street life. They make the city alive.

With this post, I open a series dedicated to the soul of the city.

У каждого города есть своя визитная карточка. Какая-то яркая достопримечательность. Её изображают на открытках и сувенирах. По ней город узнаётся среди сотен других городов.
Есть такие достопримечательности и у Севастополя. Поисковая система интернета выдаст по запросу сразу несколько. Но на них не будет того, что я называю душой города.

Это его дворы и дворики, улицы и уличная жизнь. Именно они делают город живым.

Этим постом я открываю серию, посвящённую душе города.

We walked down a small street and I took pictures left and right. Seeing this, one woman advised me to visit the courtyard and showed how to get there. Fate itself sent me this woman. The yard turned out to be very unusual. However, this is normal for Sevastopol.

Мы проходили по маленькой улочке и я фотографировал направо и налево. Видя это одна женщина посоветовала посетить дворик и показала как туда попасть. Сама судьба послала мне эту женщину. Двор оказался очень необычным. Впрочем, для Севастополя это нормально.

My lens wasn't wide enough to capture the entire courtyard. Therefore, all the following photos will be a mosaic of this courtyard. Well, let's go.

Мой объектив оказался недостаточно широкоугольный, чтобы захватить дворик целиком. Поэтому все следующие фото будут представлять собой мозаику этого двора. Ну, что же, поехали.

It was already deep evening and the sun was shining almost from the horizon. Part of the yard was in the shade. For all the time I have not met a single person. Only the cat, tired from the heat of the day, indifferently watched my body movements.

Был уже глубокий вечер и солнце светило почти от горизонта. Часть двора была в тени. За всё время я не встретил ни одного человека. Только усталый от дневной жары кот равнодушно наблюдал за моими телодвижениями.

With these words you are absolutely right...If you want to learn about the city you need to look at its streets,street life and portrait of the city.Then you can see the truth of the city...

Great pictures my friend...

Sun already set but you haven't seen a single person except for that woman? I noticed in your images as well that only that woman was captured. What happened to this place, but the images were all nice. The houses seem historical.

This is not the woman who pointed to the courtyard. This is my wife, we roamed these wonderful courtyards together.
Everything is fine with this place. Daytime heat and working day. People prefer to relax either by the sea or at home. I think this is the reason.
Thanks for your nice comment, have a nice weekend :)

Ah, sorry about that I didn't understand all the words you said I think. Different country has its own uniqueness after all. Although the structure and architectural designs are amazing in your country.

The most interesting and mysterious thing is that similar architecture is found all over the world and on different continents. Perhaps people used to live in one big country :)

Not only the soul of the city lives in the courtyards, but its true history.
