Seashells on a Hilltop

June 14, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

All of the decorative stone cladding on the cable car station in Victory Park has countless small seashells embedded all through it. Which seems ironic on top of a hill about 600 miles from the nearest large body of water. Despite its disuse, the building is still a striking example of Soviet-era architecture.

You can see more photos on the Dushanbe gallery page.
