Imagine a rider on a black horse jumps out of the window of the rotonda and plunges into the green waters. This was the shooting of the film "White Head" (1974). We will come back to this later.
It looks great from a distance. Rotonda looms over green water amidst lush tropical greenery. Today is Wednesday and it's high time to take a walk to this wonderful place.
Представьте, из окна ратонды выскакивает всадник на вороном коне и погружается в зелёные воды. Это были съёмки фильма "Белый башлык" (1974 год). Мы к этому ещё вернёмся
Издалека это выглядит превосходно. Ратонда нависающая над зелёной водой среди буйной тропической зелени. Сегодня среда и самое время совершить прогулку в это замечательное место.
In fact, this rotonda is the pavilion of the railway station. The platform itself is very narrow. It was made back in tsarist times. Therefore, an ingenious decision was made to place the pavilion above the water. And it was beautifully done.
На самом деле эта ротонда является павильоном железно-дорожной станции. Сама платформа очень узкая. Она делалась ещё в царское время. Поэтому было принято гениальное решение, расположить павильон над водой. И это было красиво сделано.
A round glazed pavilion with a mosaic floor and a balcony along the entire perimeter, from which you can admire the surrounding beauty of nature. I would like to live there.
Круглый застеклённый павильон с мозаичным полом и балконом по всему периметру, с которого можно любоваться окружающей красотой природы. Я бы хотел там жить.
Now it looks sad and abandoned (photo of 2014). Dirty broken glass, desolation in the hall, but even so there is some greatness in this pavilion, its high spirit. I will show you some screenshots from an old Soviet movie.
Сейчас это выглядит печально и заброшено (фото 2014 года). Грязные разбитые стёкла, запустение в зале, но даже при этом есть какое-то величие в этом павильоне, его высокий дух. Я покажу вам несколько скринов из старого советского фильма.
This room was decorated like a rich restaurant with a table for games. Pay attention to the walls, to the decoration. Feel the difference.
Этот зал был декорирован под богатый ресторан со столом для игр. Обратите внимание на стены, на убранство. Почувствуйте разницу.
And here the rider before jumping through the window and the very moment of the jump, when the horse and rider are immersed in the water. Unfortunately, the horse died.
А здесь всадник перед прыжком через окно и сам момент прыжка, когда конь и всадник погружаются в воду. К сожалению, конь погиб.
Taking this shot, I am standing on the balcony exactly in the very place from which this tragic jump took place. But nothing reminds of the tragedy. Life goes on
Снимая этот кадр я стою на балконе как раз в том самом месте, откуда был совершён этот трагический прыжок. Но ничто не напоминает о трагедии. Жизнь продолжается
Happy #WednesdayWalk

That first shot of the rotunda over the water has such a magical feel to it I would never have guessed it was part of a train station
So beautiful inside a pity it has been allowed to decay
Yes, I agree. It was also a surprise for me to find out her real purpose. Fortunately, this is a cast iron construction. It has a good safety margin. If someone decides to restore it, then he will succeed. But now this railway station does not work, the train passes by it. It matters only as a historical and tourist site.

But having been in a movie and having historical significance it would be great if someone was to restore it

I am afraid of only one thing, if a person who is not on friendly terms with his head will undertake the restoration. This requires a thoughtful restoration, very careful. God forbid it will be a simple renovation ...
I get what you mean I would hope if it was ever restored it was with a lot of thought and bringing ti back to how it was in its prime
I would like to believe it, but now the whole world has gone crazy. Abkhazia is not the richest country, although there are certainly rich elites there. But is there a smart, thinking person there?
Everyone is busy with political games and their wallets. I do not know. I don’t want to be a pessimist, but I don’t see any grounds for optimism.
Although I have not been there for a long time, maybe everything is just fine there :)
And you are right, if you are going to be engaged in restoration, then it must be done correctly.
Sad that’s how things are there sounds like it’s natural not to be optimistic about things

BEERKING.Such a great place I always loved such 8 square or round pavillons. But this one is very charming.
Real good buildings dont need to look restaured or new to show their beauty.
Thank you for this photos they indpired my day :-)
Heh, you said about 8 corners / sides and I just now realized that there are actually 9 of them ...
Each corner of the "Mobius strip" on the floor indicates the corner of the building. For me, this is another mystery.
Thank you friend

Да-а-а ) У нас любовь к заброшенным зданиям. А Абхазия именно об этом=)
Да, после войны с Грузией заброшки даже в самом городе есть. А на этой станции всё очень живописно.
Хорошие фотографии вышли)

I must go to bed now but I'll be back here tomorrow night after work to read this more thoroughly as I am afraid that my eyes are closing too much now to take it all in properly and as you have put so much work into it, I will honour you my friend @bambuka and read it when I can see it all better!
Love from Australia!
