Tyumen in the Spring
Tyumen is the capital of the Tyumen Oblast. It has about 582000 inhabitants and is located along the river Tura.
Tyumen represents the oldest Russian settling in Siberia and was founded in 1586. In earlier times the region has been a Tatar town, called Chingi-Tura. In 1782 Tyumen became a city charter. Generally in the 18th century it had developed to a important center of trade between China and Russia.
In the last centuries, the typical local architecture was built in wood. That's why much historical substance was lost until today. But the historical center still possesses many old wooden houses, which are in more or less good restauration conditions.
The riverside of the Tura has been expanded to a huge promenade, which is always busy with all kinds of rban life.
A specific character of this fascinating region are the inspiring light conditions, which illuminate the orthodox churches and other interesting buildings in changing ways.
In winter all waters are completely frozen, including the river Tura. In early April, the ice breakes and floes drift on the water surface downriver. Finally in the beginning of May, all meltwater leads to a flooding of Tura, which covers the lower regions of the waterfront.
floes and flooding can be seen in this short film.
