Kucheh
In traditional Persian architecture, a kucheh or koocheh (Persian: کوچه), is a narrow especially designed alley. Remnants of it are  still seen in modern Iran and regional countries.

Before modernisation, Iran's old city fabric was composed of these narrow winding streets, often made with high walls of adobe and brick, and often roofed at intervals. This form of urban design, which was commonplace in Iran, is an optimal form of desert architecture that minimizes desert expansion and the effects of dust storms. It also maximises daytime shading, and insulates the “fabric” from severe winter temperatures.

An example of how Kuchehs were roofed. Sometimes, such as in Isfahan, the kucheh was roofed for much of its span. This example is in Nain.

The high walls of the Koocheh provided relief from dust storms and intense sunlight. This was an efficient and ancient form of urban design in Iran.

Allegheny Branch
The Allegheny Branch, also known as the Allegheny Subdivision, is a partially-abandoned railway line in the United States. It was built between 1852 and 1870 by the Allegheny Valley Railroad as that company's main line. It became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad network in 1900. At its fullest extent the line ran 132 miles (212 km) between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Oil City, Pennsylvania. Today, the Allegheny Valley Railroad, unrelated to the original company, owns the section between Pittsburgh and Arnold, Pennsylvania, while a small section in Oil City belongs to the Norfolk Southern Railway and is leased by the Western New York and Pennsylvania Railroad. The remainder has been abandoned. Much of the former right-of-way has been converted to rail trails.

Rail trail
A rail trail or railway walk is a shared-use path on a railway right of way. Rail trails are typically constructed after a railway has been abandoned and the track has been removed; in addition, rails with trails share the rail corridor with active railways, light rail or with disused track. As shared-use paths, rail trails are primarily for non-motorised traffic including pedestrians, bicycles, horseback riders, skaters and cross-country skiers, although snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles may be allowed. The characteristics of abandoned railways lend themselves to rail trails and account for their popularity; these include gentle grades, well-engineered rights of way and structures (bridges and tunnels), and passage through historical areas. Many rail trails are long-distance trails, while some shorter rail trails are known as greenways or linear parks.
Red Cavalry Riding
Red Cavalry Riding (Russian: Скачет красная конница) is an oil on canvas painting around 1932 by the Russian avant-garde artist Kazimir Malevich. It is held in the Russian Museum, in Saint Petersburg.

It is considered Malevich's only contribution into the official pantheon of Soviet art. Its recognition by the Soviets was ensured by the "politically correct" title of the painting. In addition, Malevich intentionally put "18 год" ("Year 18") in the lower right corner and wrote a short verse on the back: "Скачет красная конница из октябрьской столицы, на защиту советской границы" ("From the capital of the October Revolution, the Red Cavalry rides to defend the Soviet frontier").

Soviet art
Soviet art is the visual art style produced after the Russian Revolution of 1917 and during the existence of the Soviet Union, until its collapse in 1991. The Russian Revolution led to an artistic and cultural shift within Russia and the Soviet Union as a whole, including a new focus on socialist realism in officially approved art.
