My photos of the railway station in Samara, Russia. This station was built in 2001. In its place was a railway station built in 1876. He was very handsome. But according to local authorities, he stopped coping with the increased flow of passengers.

I am interested to know what is depicted in these frames.
I hope architectural detail shots are acceptable, since that's more my style for this genre. Settings data on request.

This is one of the examples of the reconstruction of a 19th-century building in Samara. The new owner completely restored the facade of the building, replaced the windows. However, the drawing of berries on the facade raises questions. But it's a matter of taste.

The photo was taken in the historical center of Samara. Many one-storey wooden houses built in the 19th century have been preserved in the city. But they are gradually being broken. And the local government gives the territory for building multi-storey residential buildings. Here is a typical picture. A new house with a lot of floors surrounded by houses that will soon be demolished.

Not far from Samara, a local businessman built a medieval-style castle. I visited it a few years ago and took some photos.

I took some interesting photos today. There used to be a factory in Samara where very high quality lathes were made. But after the collapse of the Soviet Union, demand for them plummeted. And in the late 1990s, the plant was closed. Now there are shops selling construction and finishing materials on this territory. They also built huge ugly buildings made of glass and concrete. But there are still several buildings that have been restored. And they now house trendy shops, coffee shops, dance studios and more.
