Pratt Street


Pratt Street in downtown Hartford is a short street with a mix of new and old buildings,
some in good shape and some challenged.  I like this old building and the art nouveau street lamps.

My travels are scheduled to last five more days.  Posts are scheduled for every
day while I am away, and I have been updating them to include photos from Russia.

While we are on the subject of lovely old buildings, 
here is a handsome wooden building with wonderful ornamentation, in Uglich.

The Hartford shot is pure elegance. The other one is impressive but would be a nightmare to paint!

There's some very interesting architecture there in Hartford. I like the composition of your first picture. We seem to have a lot more "challenged" buildings here in New London. I find them all very interesting though.

The Russian dacha is very unique.

You're finding wonderful shots in Russia to complement your U.S. posts. Very nice! Today's wooden building is pretty amazing.
