My visit to Yekaterinburg was partly for work, and one of my tasks was to explore the public gardens in the city. Granted there were not too many of them, I still managed to identify a few places where one could go and enjoy the Nature, a bit of fresh air, and perhaps, some solitude.
Speaking of solitude, arguably there is no better place to enjoy it than in Yekaterinburg Arboretum. It is located at Geologicheskaya metro station, across the road from the Circus. The alley you can see in the photo oozes Surrealism (the way I see it at least). On the arboretum grounds stands the chapel of St. Alexander Nevsky, erected in 1881 and restored in 1993. It is very small but lovely inside.
Walking away from the chapel along different alleys you come to the fountain. It looks classical, especially when seen from the side, with sumptuous flowerbeds preparing the view. And just a few steps away is a beautiful rosary where I took immense pleasure photographing flowers. I give them all to you.
