Rotting Soviet-era Ministry of Transportation building

Regine from We Make Money Not Art visted a show called Spectacular City at Netherlands Institute of Architecture that features giant photos of "spectacular" buildings. She's featuring the best of them in a series on her blog. Today's entry really caught me — a rotting ex-Soviet Ministry of Transportation in Tbilisi, Georgia:

The image for today is the Ministry of Transportation. Shot in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, the photography brings out the conflict between a symbol of progress and its current state of decay.

By Antwerp-based photographer Geert Joiris.
