  • Richmond - found in Downtown

    July 16, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Downtown of Richmond is place where it is possible to find many unusual things. Chinese statues guarding entrance, electricity counters offering overview of consumption of each apartment in the building, small squirrels without fluffy tails, roads crossing building and of course great positions of hydrants.
    ***
    Downtown Richmondu je miesto kde sa dá náisť kopec zaujímavých detailov. Čínske sochy strážiace vchody, elektrometre sprostredkujúce prehľad spotreby všetkých obyvateľov budovy, malé veveričky bez huňatých chvostov, cesty vedúce cez budovy a samozrejme hydranty na parádnych miestach.

    The park was not only full of Pokemon hunters, but also offered great view of the river and some magnificent bridge-crossing-madness design. Very relaxing part of the city.
    ***
    Park plný lovičov Pokémonov ponúka úžasné pohľady na rieku a aj niekoľko zaujímavých pohľadov na križovatku mnohých mostov na jednom mieste. Veľmi pokojná časť mesta.Read more

    Umelci sa snažia upozorniť na to že všetko čo kanály požerú ide priamo do rieky neďaleko od nich. Všetky malby na kanáloch sú súčasťou súťaže.
