Photos of the Day for September 18, 2016

Zakopane (functionalist) style, Hlybokaje 2016.  On the road from Braslau to Mjensk, and inspired by the visit to the civil-servant residential quarter in Braslau, we stopped in Bjerazvjechcha on the outskirts of Hlybokaje, as well as in Hlybokaje, to survey some of the Zakopane-style buildings there. Функцыяналізм (закапанскі стыль), Беразвечча й Глыбокае 2016 г.  Па… Continue reading Photos of the Day for September 18, 2016

Braslau architectural patrimony 2016 (III/V):  Braslau cemetery.  Unfortunately the countrywide mania for cutting down cemetery trees reached Braslau several years ago, and the resulting lack of shade has — predictably — led to the rapid and choking growth of weeds, grasses and bushes. Архітэктурная спадчына Браслава 2016 (III/V):  браслаўскія могілкі.  Шкада, што таксама браслаўскія могілкі… Continue reading Photos of the Day for September 15, 2016

Braslau architectural patrimony 2016 (II/V):  vernacular architecture. Архітэктурная спадчына Браслава 2016 г. (II/V):  народнае дойлідства.   End-19th century brick building, Ljeninskaja Street (formerly Grand (Vjalikaja) Street, then Pilsudski Street) 79.  From its style and material, this building was most likely Jewish-owned until World War II. Тыповая местачковая камяніца ў добрым стане з прыканца 19-га ст.,… Continue reading Photo of the Day for September 14, 2016

Braslau architectural patrimony 2016 (I/V).  Braslau should be proud of its neglected but nevertheless outstanding example of a Polish-era “civil-servants’ quarter” (in Belarusian:  калонія ўраднікаў; in Polish:  kolonia urzędników), designed in the mid-1920s in the emerging functionalist style by renowned Polish architect Juliusz Kłos. The photos of the day for September 29, 2015 surveyed this… Continue reading Photos of the Day for September 13, 2016

Juryj Khadyka (1938-2016) / Юрый Хадыка (1938-2016)

It is with great regret that we read the Belarusian newspaper “Nasha Niva” report of the death of Professor Juryj Khadiyka.  Not only was Juryj Khadyka a renowned physicist, but also a Belarusian patriot and a leading expert on Belarusian Greek-Catholic art and iconography.  In 2008 he was kind enough to give me a detailed… Continue reading Juryj Khadyka (1938-2016) / Юрый Хадыка (1938-2016)

Crafts fair, Braslau Museum of Traditional Culture 2016. Кірмаш рамёстваў, Браслаўскі музэй традыцыйнай культуры 2016 г.   It was a great pleasure to meet museum curator Natasha again after several years and to see examples of her weaving. Вельмі прыемна было ўбачыцца зноў з куратаркай музэя спадарыняй Наташай і глядзець на узоры яе ткацтва.  … Continue reading Photos of the Day for September 11, 2016
