Shlakiyah: MiG

Saturday 8 September 2007

MiG

Driving through the ‘beautiful’ mining town of Alaverdi to Sanahin we caught a sight of a MiG. Artem Mikoyan, a native of Sanahin, was the designer of the first Soviet jet fighter, and so an early MiG deserves a shrine outside of local school.

Decay can be such a beautiful motive in pictures (the stripped car for example) especially if you see you are living in the safe rich western country of Sweden. But I can imagine that the people you meet and lives in this decay does not really see the beauty in it.; 8 September 2007 at 13:48
