Something Different

We passed by a funeral possession in Mogilov Region. All the traffic stops while the people pass that are walking to the cemetery. The man in front is carrying a picture of the deceased. The coffin is open in the back of the blue truck.


The ladies follow carrying flowers. I didn't feel right about taken of picture of the man in the open coffin.




Notice how the chimney is in the middle of the house. The stoves are built in the middle with the chimney going staight up, then the room are built around the stove--thus providing heat for the whole house. I would love to go inside of one of those homes just to see what they are like.

Don't ask me what this was about, but I thought it was a fun picture.

Wow. How far do they travel during a procession like that?

How big is that car? Definitely eye catching...whatever it is for!

Nasty weather to be walking outside for a funeral.
