Holiday Season in Uzhgorod

The holiday season in Ukraine is in full swing and the holiday of supreme celebration will be New Year's. Christmas still figures in the festive season as most will observe a traditional Christmas on January 7th. So, yesterday while Cheryl and I were out on some business in the center (yes, it was cold-not making it above 22) of Uzhgorod, we witnessed numerous people buying their Christmas trees and carrying them along their way. In this season we had a surprisingly beautiful, sunny day yesterday in the midst of a long series of snowy, overcast days. So, it was cold, but very beautiful. The photos are shot from our apartment in Uzhgorod toward the north. Most of the buildings in the photo are associated with the Uzhgorod State University or the Electrical Technical Institute. Apartment buildings mostly house dorm students for the university.
