The New Year has passed, the holidays ended quickly, we didn«t even have time to notice. Work meetings are already in full swing, plans for the year are being made. Yet, the festive atmosphere is still present on the city streets; one just needs to look for it.

A photographer from the city portal UFA1.RU walked through courtyards and found that some of them are still decorated with New Year«s beauties—Christmas trees. In some places, these are living planted trees, and in others, they are brought in for the holiday period. This creates a special festive atmosphere that is hard to let go of.

We managed to walk around and look at courtyards in different parts of the city. These include, for example, Green Grove, the «Planeta» microdistrict, Oktyabrya Avenue, and Zaton.

Naturally, in some places the trees are beautiful, and in others, they are worse for wear. And not all of them have garlands or festive decorations. Although, it would seem, if a tree already grows near a house, it only needs to be decorated.

However, it«s worth noting that not every courtyard can boast such decorations. Many of them are not decorated at all. And no trees are even planted there.

During one of the December reports, the photographer managed to catch the moment when employees of the local housing office were decorating a tree in the courtyard on Zorge Street. Then, they were hanging garlands on a huge forest beauty using a lift. That«s some scale!

Smaller trees without any decorations are found on Batyrskaya Street.

In new residential complexes, workers from some management companies try to put up a New Year tree at least in the building«s lobby. But it depends on how lucky the residents are.
