Decembrist Cottage Woodwork, Irkutsk

---

Siberia is known for its unique woodwork and architecture. Even the most modest of buildings have elaborate woodwork decorating the windows. Very often this woodwork is colorful an attempt to cheer things up during the long, harsh winters that Siberia is known for. Though this kind of architecture is to be seen in all parts of Siberia, the best examples are perhaps in Irkutsk - the Paris of Siberia.
