Wave Bus Stop, Tsandripsh

Outside Gagra, near Tsandripsh, the Wave stop mimics the nearby Black Sea outright. It is one of the clearest examples of these [Abkhaz shelters](https://chaikhana.media/en/stories/652/abkhazia-self-expression-in-a-bus-stop) doing what Soviet bus stops rarely get credit for doing: reading the landscape and turning it into form. Casual, practical, slightly bonkers, and very easy to imagine at sunset with salt in the air.
