Copyright © 2011 - All rights reserved - The "Tartarskya" street region of Tomsk is a virtual wealth of classic Russian Siberian Baroque architectural riches. We spent most of the two days we were in the city photographing just the old houses. These windows are part of a "kartal" built at least 200+ years ago in the old "log cabin" fashion. We'd seen them briefly once before while going thru the remote backwoods villages on the way to Belorussia. Now we had an entire region FILLED with them. I also loved the artistic window reflections in contrast to the artistic values of the architecture.
