Russia in photos. Without politics.

Near at hand is now forest fotoografy not So another picture last summer. This is a simple rustic rooster. It was in honor of this year of the Rooster on the Chinese calendar

 

It seemed to me that I posted this photo in the summer Has now run on a subject — I don't find. Means, I have mixed something.



It too from the village in the summer. Such goats were grazed in front of the mother's house

 

That goat looks like it is posing and smiling for you.

 

Well, of course, it was interesting to a goat that she is photographed! This goat isn't spoiled by attention of photographers

 

Balancer ~ is your daughter still doing gymnastics? What are her prospects for making the Russian Junior Olympic team?

 

Our third day the temperature outside is -26 .. -30°C (-15..-22°F). Even for Moscow is cold Although there are many cities in Russia, where such a temperature - a common occurrence. But Moscow was used, the temperature rarely falls below -15 .. -20°C (+5 .. -5°F)

Yesterday I photographed frosty streets a little, but now in Russia New Year's days off come to an end and it is necessary to prepare for work. Therefore thoughtfully to describe photos it won't turn out. And I will put this question away for later For now, for a priming, my yesterday's selfie

 

In Moscow at -27 °C (-17 °F) there has taken place the bicycle parade Photos — here:

Yesterday's clouds over Moscow. Long straight stripes

 

Well and there is a little more Moscow. Yesterday has taken this picture on the way to work. And Google to me has made such effect from a photo

 

Here some more little bricks of the Russian winter. Bricks. Ice bircks. These are ice blocks which janitors have brought down from the rooftop. And so — on all length of the house!

 

Now I brought order to old photos. This photo of June 6, 2012 has got to me. I sit on a chair here It we with familiar astrofans are going to observe transit of Venus on a disk of the Sun. The next time it will be only in 2117

 

For contrast. It from recent photos. People in the park near my house build snowmen Now, however, all snow has already almost thawed. On the street it is wet and is dirty.

 

On the photo, February 23. In Russia they celebrate Maslenitsa (Shrovetide).



A holiday, when they take Winter out. Got us from the pagan times Orthodoxy in Russia inherited a lot from the pagan period.

 

Wonderful picture ThirdTerm

 

I love this thread! So many beautiful pictures!

 

I have not written to this forum for a long time, but decided to take a look Some fresh photos.

A few days ago the snow fell again. Already no one expected, because the spring this year was warm. But - snow fell and even the temperature dropped below 0 °С.



Today it became warmer and almost all melted, the snow now lies only in the shade under the trees.

 

I caught sight of such graffiti on the way to one of my works.

 

Bench on the street. My daughter sat down to rest We went on foot to the Geological Museum.



Well, since I started to write about the museum - here is a photo of a large zeolots of amethyst in the museum

 

In a nearby shopping center, the Hamleys toy store opened. They say it's very famous, but I did not hear it before The phone booth, of course, gives out the London origin. Sorry, the Tardis are not there: D

 

And this is just my son. It grows a little In a month, it will be two years.

 

On the line there were new trams "Vityaz" ("Knight"? - I do not know the literal translation of this Russian word.). But I did not really like. Quite noisy, no USB outlets for charging phones. And the validators of contactless tickets, somehow, do not always respond to the ticket immediately.



Tram inside.

 

Just a non-ceremonial Moscow. What it is rarely seen by tourists

 

Well, probably, enough for me to spam. This is mostly pictures of a week ago

 

The other day I went with my daughter to the Museum of Modern Art. I, in general, are very far from painting or sculpture, so I went without much interest. Moreover, it is a museum of sculptor Zurab Tsereteli, to whom my attitude is rather negative because of his gigantomania and the link with the Kremlin But the reality surpassed expectations. Despite the bad weather and the fact that the main exposition was on the street, my daughter and I got a lot of fun I photographed several dozen photos. Place their meaning here, of course. Unless in an album on Facebook to lay out, but it is also not very convenient.



Here, for example, such a knife grinder. "A good-kind eyes" (from an old Russian anecdote about Lenin )
