Tomsk timber homes

A day of walking around the old town

semi-overcast 26 °C
View Back in the USSR on MikeinCairns's travel map.

An lazy start to the day, breakfast in our room, and then off for the walking tour of the old timber homes. Today was a real highlight. We loved the historic homes and spent all day walking. Within a few kms we saw hundreds of these old Siberian materpieces. The only difficult thing today was trying to trim down the number of photos.

These photos are from the internet....

The most striking element of the homes was the windows:
