Prompted by those shots from Yerevan, herewith a couple more from another town described as a "****hole" by those with a direct opinion or as an "urbanised workcamp" in more polite circles. Either way, Atyrau in western Kazakhstan doesn't have a lot to commend it besides steady work and busy tours for touring heli drivers...!
The walk to/from work across the airport isn't especially inspiring....
Communal heating pipes over the ground with damaged or non-existent insulation make a useful contribution to global warming...
...and are simply built around or stepped over as required!
