Less, it looks far more impressive than my wanderings.
I hope that you have a fine time with your family.......and that you can be with them for Christmas........it is magical to have children through which to see Christmas.......they make it much more of a celebration.

Re: Today in pictures

Today a misty walk around Entwistle Res. It was so damp and misty, I didn't risk using my good camera, so I made use of my pocket camera. The water levels are now up to full as the overflow is running.

Nah ... the Russian economy is so bad that they shipped St. Basil's and the Kremlin to Bejing in exchange for two trainloads of take out and enough junk (no; not the sailing kind) to fill every dollar store in Moscow.

Come to think of it, Chelski will be probably be playing Stanley in a couple of seasons.

Nice pics, Less.

Re: Today in pictures

I went out and about yesterday with my camera, but it was such a dismal day that I captured very little.....so my posting today is a mixture of yesterday and last week.
1) The spiral staircase in Toad Hall.I can tell you that this took some getting used to.
2) The cosy living room at Toad Hall...a grand name for a little weavers cottage.
3) Another view of the living room.
4) A front door dressed in its Christmas best.
5) The quaint cottages at Clog Heads
6) A lovely place to have a lunch with a pint of something cold.
7) A Christmas tree in a field.......all lit up.
8) This was a 'davemac' moment......where does that go? Oh yes, it was wet and muddy too so I must have been doing it right
9) This is the point I gave up on this muddy path......I know...I'm a lightweight.
10 Time to head for home.

4-10 are from yesterday.
I hope you enjoy them...though nothing spectacular.

Re: Today in pictures

So, where to begin?

Over 100 interesting pic's of Moscow & only ten allowed. Well let's start where choice was unlimited:-



Yes the space race, unbelievable!

Here's the front of the 'shop'.



Nothing like what's in the gardens you walk through the object above it is a bronze they've thrown together, here's another view:-



That is the rocket at the top taken at max zoom on my mobile still look's small doesn't it?

The base looks like this:-



Notice the Cosmonaut on the left hand side, steps lead up for kids to go
shake his hand.

look at the people to the left for an idea of scale.

O.K. inside the museum where to start well lets start with a rare pic of Roy doing his 'Sky At Night' looking intelligent pose next to something none of us know about:-



That is the automated luna-9 space station.

How about This?



Built by the Americans, bought by the Russians, an off shore comms sattelite launcher.

The exhibit is so large I naturally had to pay a visit!



Well, Got to change subject even though there is so much to show.

Allright one more from space, would you believe this shower curtain is a 'docking hatch'?



The reason we are here:-


and this:-

It's a fantastic city, I don't have time to focus on one image without noticing a better one just out of view!

Have only scraped the surface, I'm just finishing my pint after a metro journey dropping the kids off. Basically got tomorrow off so time to stand and stare, day after Moscow state circus and other stuff, my brain and phone are on overdrive.

Looks fine on my laptop, just enjoy the chance of a good moan and then do your thing in the administrators section.

(Less limps off mumbling about administrators the world over doing a job they enjoy but only if they can find something to moan about).

It is good to be able to see Moscow without having to do a tedious flight.
Keep 'em coming Less.

Re: Today in pictures

So here we go again, apologies for the first one it's yesterday in pictures:-



It seems during his time in power, Lenin had seven buildings like this put up around Moscow, I'm now on a quest to find the other six.

Today because we weren't meeting the family until later, we got on the metro and then off at a random site, it was next to one of the Cities many Circus sites:-













I'd just taken the pic's before a whole host of kids were let loose after going to the Circus 5 minutes later I'd never have got the pic's, the children were allowed, no, encouraged to climb over these statues, no wonder the statues are so shiny!

Apologies to Mick for ignoring his hint.

Well we headed out earlier to visit a garden full of Russian dolls I was looking forward to showing them.
We fought our way through a snow storm, (well actually a flurry or two), only to find they store them away in winter.
