🎄Merry Christmas from The Tropics🌴 it’s been hard to feel Christmassy when it’s 30c but will be sure to throw another shrimp on the barbie and all that 🦐
Big and bad ass. The Courage Monument commemorating the Soviet resistance during WWII is in the fortress complex in Brest, Belarus. This was once on CNN’s world’s ugliest monuments. How on earth?? It’s one of the most incredible monuments I saw this summer. The size of it! The impact it has visually... I still can’t believe I’ve seen it with my own 👀 .

This is what brought me to Minsk, Belarus. Not the KFC 🍗 but this incredible bas relief from the #sovietera 🖤 Stay tuned for more... only one more week of concrete (for now, obvs)

I 💙 this building so much. The Romanita in #Chisinau #Moldova 🇲🇩 Ever since I became interested in #sovietarchitecture & #brutalisim I’ve wanted to visit this iconic building... and here it is. Plus can we take a moment to relish how there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky 💙

I love a good monument, especially a war one but not many move me. The only one I can remember doing so, and brought me to tears is the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington DC. This one in #Bender depicts a Russian soldier protecting the children of #Transnistria It particularly left an impression on me. I love how the peace dove has been positioned over the heart. Despite the political situation and war that ensued which is why it’s there, it’s a favourite of mine. .
