Angel of frost

Dsc00345
In my homeland there is a custom to build ice figures and buildings to celebrate Xmas and Happy New Year. Such beauty not seldom nowadays: in many countries you can find skilled ice-cutters, who show their masterpieces in the days of cold.

Still there is some greatness to watch the ice city when it's really cold - minus thirty or thirty five by the Celsium scale. It's a living faery tale of frost in front of you.

Autumn in Moscow is stuffy and cloudy. And these days I close my eyes and try to remember this magic view of angel of frost by my skin.

River Subway

P1010690

There were talks recently about creating "river subway" in Moscow. Several ships will transfer people through few stops on the Moscow river.

Still, this won't be subway (russian word метро has nothing with sub in it) because it will lack speed and coverage of true subway system. But it possibly will be a nice way to spend your time on board of such "river train".

I think it will be.

Past Glory

Yeah, this is famous Buran (rus. Blizzard) — russian Space Shuttle. Some time ago it was top-level spacecraft. And now it serves as a museum in the amusement park.

Our world is funniest place to watch.

Sometimes it is fun to look into dark corners of the city. You can witness, for example, a rat paratrooper's infiltration in the human world.

But don't worry. There is a cat guard down there.

We're safe.

Silence

There is something sacral in these moments.

After big noisy city, where every minute is scheduled and busy, to wake up and listen measured rhythm of sea shore. For minutes. For hours.

И смотреть на пар, поднимающийся из кружки с чаем.

And watch to the steam rising from the cup of tea.
