From Russia, with love

Today I visited the North River Port in Moscow

Wonderful thread. You are a talented photographer. Thanks for sharing!

I'm planning my trip to Russia next year. But I am an independant traveller. Tours are boring and expensive most of the times. So I prepare all required ducuments by myself, get them translated by https://pickwriters.com/russian-translation-services. These days you can learn about places just by using Internet. Wikipedia is free! And for me personally, I like freedom and flexibility and I like to do my own things. Otherwise if you don't want to plan your trip - then your choice is to take tours.

If you have any questions - feel free too ask. Plan is a great thing to make your trip safer.

Merry Christmas from Russia! We celebrate it today, by the Julian calendar

Merry Christmas back!

Merry Christmas and ,hopefully, a better New Year. Beautiful pictures.

A belated merry Christmas to you too. I had no idea that you celebrate it on a different day to the rest of the western world.

Not only us, but also the Georgian, Serbian and Jerusalem Orthodox churches and monks on Mount Athos.
It's because of the discrepancy between the duration of the astonomic year and the calendar.

Frosty snow winter days in Moscow and suburbs

Everything is melting now in Moscow



And I've been involved in a minor car accident with a piece of ice flown from the truck on highway. I was a passenger and it flew right into the driver. No injuries, only sad picture.



It's the right time to feel nostalgic about Summer
