All of the churches are beautiful, but
the entire St. Stanislaus complex is magnificent. St. Michaels on the
right houses Byzantine are including wood painting, carvings and books
dating from the 17th century. |
On October 18-19, 2003 former graduates
of Camp Rah Rah attended a training in further developing projects for
their respective communities. I was fortunate enough to co-facilitate with
Yulia Manuliak and Norri Symonds in Ivano-Frankisv. Two other
conferences were held: one in Kharkiv and one in Vinnytsia.

The city is in the process of
refurbishing all of its buildings. This one left for a war movie show
what the outside of most of them looked like before.
|
It was a rainy day and I have
lightened this as much as I can, but this is looking from the center
down the pedestrian walk in the heart of Ivano-Frankisv.

This is better. Notice the combination
of colors, of styles, the wrought iron balconies.
|
Now you can see the colors in the
street tiles. The flower beds and trees. There are benches on which
people can rest as they stroll.

|
Just to show you the other side of the
street and the wonderful light posts. They work too. Ivano-Frankisv is
a lively, free-spirited city, proud of its Ukrainian heritage and the
language of its country.

|
The buildings are just as beautiful on
any of the streets of the center.
