20110416 Electric avenues

A spiderweb of power lines, telephone wires and trolleybus cables run above the streets in Chernivtsi's Old Town, in Western Ukraine.

Named for the black ("cherny") oaken walls which surrounded the city until they were destroyed by the Mongol invasion of 1259, Chernivtsi has historically been a major cultural and education centre, and sits close to the Romanian and Moldovan borders. Like many parts of Western Ukraine, the city has been part of various nations and empires over the years, belonging to the Kingdom of Moldovia, the Austrian Empire, the Romanian empire, before becoming part of the Soviet states and finally independent Ukraine. The city is nicknamed "Little Vienna," because its architecture is reminiscent of the Austro-Hungarian capital.

Shot with a Nikon D40 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G II lens, and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
