New Day

finding a house before satnav

Am so glad this old house is on my way to work. I am passing it by almost daily, sometimes few times a day when I ran for meetings / appointments.  I don't mind modern architecture, in many cases - admire it, but this old house leaves great feeling about how people organised their lives about 100-150 years ago - the texture, the colours, the space. this is, by the way, Leo Tolstoy Moscow house, and to find it the visitors had to watch the top of this gate where I noticed for the first time today the initials for Count Tolstoy - Г Т are so carefully and modestly curved in the wood. 

the white plate - NO PARKING was not there in Tolstoy time (hope!)
