AUG 19, 19 .. IRKUTSK .. NIZHNYAYA NABEREZHNAYA ANGARY

Nizhnyaya Naberezhnaya Angary!

Wow What A Name!

The above name is the name of an attraction that I reviewed on Trip Advisor. 

I'll explain the name to you.

Here in Irkutsk, down beside a small part of the Angara River, there is a road. 

The name of that road is : Ulitsa Nizhnyaya Naberezhnaya. 

In Russian, Ulitsa means Street.

So there you have it : Nizhnyaya Naberezhnaya Angary simply means the Street Nizhnyaya Naberezhnaya beside the Angara River spelled Angary in the above title. 

I do not know, nor can I explain, why-on-Earth they spelled Angara as Angary!

Here are a few photos that I snapped along side of the Nizhnyaya Naberezhnaya Angary.

In this first photo below, I am standing on a bridge that crosses the Ulitsa Nizhnyaya Naberezhnaya. 

In the photo you see the Monument to the Founder of Irkutsk and further up the road the Triumphal Arch Moscow Gates.


We are now going to continue walking across the bridge to the left and get to the walkway beside the Angara River you see on the left side of the above photo.

Below  you see the Angara River ahead of you. We will turn to our right when we get to the river.



The Angara River is straight ahead of you. 

Ahead of us in the distance is the Cathedral of the Epiphany. One of many magnificent Russian Orthodox Churches here in, not only Irkutsk, but all over Russia.



Below is a link to Trip Advisor showing the Cathedral. My review dated May 3, 2019, is the third review down. 

On Trip Advisor I am : Kanbaatar, Ulaanbaatar Mongolia.

In the below photo, on the right, the man standing with his rifle, you see the Monument to the Founder of Irkutsk.



Below is a little closer look at him. 

To his right you see one of the towers of the Cathedral of the Epiphany.



Moving along. Below, in the distance, straight up the railing, you see the Triumphal Arch Moscow Gate.



As you can see in these photos, the Angara is one mighty river.

Just because I think you are all so special, I waded out into the Angara River and shot the below photos of the Triumphal Arch Moscow Gates as you see it from the river.


"Captain!" 

"Out-With-The-Truth! Some child may see this and actually think that you waded out into the Angara River to snap these photos."



"Patti and I took an Angara River Boat Cruise and I snapped these photos from the boat."


Oh why not? Below is a link to Trip Advisor for the Triumphal Arch Moscow Gates.

My review in the above link is fourth down dated March 4, 2019.

Where was I when the 'wheels just fell off '?

There a lot of Arctic Terns here in the summer. Sadly they have left to migrate South. But I got some good close up photos of several during my walk before they departed.




I do not have the camera that Gullible has. I really was close to these 'sassy' Arctic Terns.


On the walk, there is a 'nifty' little cave with murals you see below.




Below is BABR! The Mascot of Irkutsk.



A  photo of an Angara River Cruise Boat docked along the walk. 



Well we are at the end of our little walk beside the Angara River.




We hope you enjoyed our walk.

Cap and Patti 

Would any of you care to believe that I have an airplane to catch to Vladivostok in a few hours?
