Some photos from Minsk, Belarus

My pictures seem a bit unfocused! There is supposed to be auto focus on this camera!
No idea what's wrong but sorry about the poor quality!



Two people who died in the Metro bombing in Minsk, at the Oktyabrskaya metro station:



Very touching memory wall for victims of the bombing. It is much larger than this:




A famous landmark in Minsk: The Red Church:



Government building complex (National Assembly) that was built just after the war, without using any proper tools, just using "communist enthusiasm" according to Andrei, the guide. This building is quite unique in it's kind.



In Belarus they like to HIDE the places where people shop (seriously!), and sometimes also the shops and their content.... LOL - why not! So, underground in central Minsk, with no properly advertised entrance, you can find the city's best "mall" (there is not a lot of competition) with excellent shops. I really liked the decoration and the window (above) to the Lenin Square.



Minsk has an outdoor market called the Kamarovskiy Rinok. I actually liked the market in Gomel better - that was awesome. But this one was cool too. Here is a part of the meat market, covered:
