Bila Tserkva means "White Church".
This is the main white church in the center of town.
Interstingly enough, it's Polish Catholic and not Orthodox.
bt
This is another white church in Bila Tserkva.
There are at least five or six white ones.
bt
And another white church.
bt
Here's a sign that shows that Bila Tserkva was founded in 1032 A.D.
bt
Maybe it was founded by this guy.
Yaroslav Moodri (Yaroslav the Wise).
Ya ne zni-ooo (I don't know).
bt
Check out this sign at the vokzal (train station).
It would have been a good secondary project for a
Peace Corps Volunteer to proof read the English translations.
bt
This is a park honoring those who fought in The Great Patriotic War,
which we know as WWII. You can tell by the red flags and banners
that the assembly is some sort of Communist rally.
bt
A monument inside this park.
bt
Back in Texas we called this a "low water bridge".
bt
We even have a beach for swimming and sunbathing
on the river that flows through town.
