This and That about L'viv

The subject of yesterday's blog, The Golden Rose, did not cover a few images from Staroyevreiska Street that I wanted to share.  This is going to be an image-driven post.  I'll have to wait for more energy to process some of the incredible things we've seen and learned in L'viv and Krakow.  For now, here are some photos for your entertainment.

We saw this doorway and I thought it was unusual, so I snapped a shot.

On the right is this lovely image of a woman.

On this left is a man.

Something didn't seem right about this side of the door.  There was this:

But then I looked down and saw this:

Good grief!

Unfortunately, this isn't a very good image, but check out how Steve Jobs' name looks in Cyrillic.

We had heard about a covered up well important to the Jewish quarter and thought this might be it.  Instead, it is a monument to L'viv as the "stomach of the Ukraine."

We also saw this restaurant, named for the poor Golden Rose Synagogue, which (as noted last night) was desecrated and destroyed by the Nazis.

We were especially taken with the menorah  candlesticks on either side of the door.

This fresco on the wall to the left of the restaurant struck me as charming.

This image was by the gates to the restaurant.

I think this was their disability accessibility image.

All of Europe, it seems, has appropriated the tale of St. George, the Dragon Slayer.  I thought this guy was pretty cute.

More on L'viv and the not-so-terrible-overnight train ride, tomorrow.
