Kuznetsky Most is one of the most beautiful pedestrian streets in the historical center of Moscow.
The street got its modern - and at the same time historical - name thanks to the Kuznetsky Bridge across the Neglinnaya River. Today, Kuznetsky Most Street attracts citizens with its high-quality landscaping, an abundance of architectural monuments and an unusual relief: due to the significant difference in heights between Petrovka and Rozhdestvenka, the city landscape looks especially picturesque.
Kuznetskaya Sloboda on the high bank of the Neglinnaya River - Neglinnaya Upper - appeared in the 12th century, but its heyday came only at the end of the 15th, when the Cannon Yard was built in the vicinity, and the Moscow prince Ivan III ordered to settle in it blacksmiths and grooms who served new production. At the turn of the 15th-16th centuries, Novgorod and Pskov were annexed to the Moscow principality, and craftsmen of various professions from these cities were moved to the Neglinny Upper.
In 1737, the street burned out during the Trinity fire, but rather quickly new buildings were built on it, in which foreign shops began to be located. Gradually, the street turned into the abode of foreign trade: the French showed particular zeal, opening fashion and haberdashery shops here, thanks to which Kuznetsky Most became the main shopping street in Moscow. During World War II and the fire of 1812, it practically did not suffer from the fire, since the French guard took over the protection of the business of compatriots. After the war, trade flourished again, and many fashionable shops were opened on it (almost all of them were foreign, most of them were French). The abundance of foreign shops made Kuznetsky Most the most fashionable and aristocratic street in Moscow, which it remained until the 1917 Revolution.
During the Soviet era, the street lost part of the historical buildings, many buildings were rebuilt, and the street gradually took on a modern look.
After the reconstruction carried out in 2012, the Kuznetsky Most section from Bolshaya Dmitrovka to Rozhdestvenka became pedestrian.
Today Kuznetsky Most Street is a well-maintained pedestrian zone, where city holidays and festivals are often held.
Despite the losses of the Soviet years, a large number of architectural monuments have been preserved on it: tenement houses, partially preserved city estates and passages. Among them are famous Moscow sights: the building of the Moscow International Trade Bank, Khomyakov's trading house and others.
I haven't seen a decent sunset for some time, there always seems to be a bank of low cloud sitting over Devon. It had been a wonderful afternoon, with not a breath of wind to stir the surface of the rock pools . Even the fish were behaving themselves. It was just the best place to be at that moment of time, as the sky slowly took on hints of purple and pink :)) I absentmindedly wandered across the beach in a euphoric state, checking out the various rocks for possibilities. I then realised i hadn't done a sunset in my immersing myself in
nature series. So Citizen of Glass by Agnes Obel it is, I'm hoping I'm almost transparent :)))
You know it ain't easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There's no words to describe it
In French or in English
Well, diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away
ENG: The Pankow Citizens' Park is a 12 hectare park area along the Panke (small river) in Berlin. It was renovated as a country estate in 1864 and acquired by the community of Pankow in 1907. The public green area offers a lot of recreation, playgrounds or a small library as well as a beer garden and is located in the immediate vicinity of the Pankow Town Hall in the district of Pankow. But the park is without direct connection to the special train to Pankow. 😀
GER: Der Bürgerpark Pankow ist ein 12 Hektar großes Parkgelände längs der Panke (kleiner Fluss) in Berlin. Er wurde etwa 1864 als Landsitz hergerichtet und 1907 von der Gemeinde Pankow erworben. Die öffentlich zugängige Grünanlage bietet viel Erholung, sowie Spielplätze oder auch eine kleine Bibliothek sowie einen Biergarten und befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Pankower Rathaus im Bezirk Pankow. Aber der Park ist ohne direkter Verbindung zum Sonderzug nach Pankow. 😀

Ladies, please, try to control yourselves. I know.
So this is about the entire CB collection I have amassed since my first purchase of the dead head and the neutral head 3 years ago. I guess you can say their marketing got to me.
It was a fine spring day. All the restaurants were filled to capacity at the square. As where the park benches. I nodded to the guy playing the guitar, and he nodded back before I took the photo. His friend looked more surprised. The dogs looked cool enough also.
Niemcza is historically one of the most important towns of Silesia. The oldest traces date back to the Bronze age. Between 1000 and 800 B.C. people of the Lusatian culture fortified the so-called "city hill" and incorporated this fortification into their Silesian defence system. This fort was probably destroyed during a battle against the Scythian around 500 BC. Members of the Germanic Silingi tribe who did not participate in the Migration Period but stayed in Silesia chose the place in the 4th century as their fortified center of a Germanic settlement area between "mons Silencii" (Ślęża) and the river "Selenca" (Ślęza). Slavs arrived after the 6th century and called this place "Nemci" ( = mute, metaphorically "those who do not speak our language").
