People Dancing
Today strong wind brought us these beautiful clouds. The photos are made at the right time (about 7pm) from the river cruise ship.
The second photo is the dancing which is located at the river edge and is great pleasure to look at. So if you are in Moscow and want to dance in open air - welcome to Gorky park.

PS. About my previous post (The copy of Brandenburg gates in Moscow). Many of you asked about relations between our countries. Germany, since 1972, is the number 1 trade partner of Russia, as almost 14% of Russian foreign trade is German share.
And my personal experience. For many years I worked with German companies and have a number of German friends. Nothing special. Usual people. Set me examples how to be disciplined, how to be workaholic, how to keep the agreements, how to be honest and openhearted. Simone, if you read this, the last part of this "speech" is specially about you.
PPS. Today I received the letter from Abraham Lincoln (everybody knows him). He took care of Ashira's photo (few days ago) and slightly improved it with Photoshop ("I used Photoshop to make the darker parts of the people lighter so you could see what the camera recorded but was not able to process."). So I wanted to show you the result here, as Ashira is really busy young lady.
People, you are amazing, thank you so much.

Yellow Submarine?
Today we had sun (at last!). But. Why there is always "but"? But the temperature at a moment is -20C (-4F) and I do not feel strong enough to go out to make photos.
That is why I am posting my yesterday photo. My favorite ingridients collected all together: river, bridge, boat and the city.

Would you believe it's Moscow DP?
As I told you a while back, Moscow-river is usually dark grey or nasty brown. But there was a day when the sky was of so rich a colour that even waters of Moscow-river looked surprisingly blue. And the boat happened to be tied at the bank.
The scene looked so far was typical Moscow landscape!

Moscow river
Last Monday was so great that even Moscow river looked blue in the center of the city! It can be counted next to miracle, I believe.

Up the river
Today I took a boat trip up the Moscow-river. I admit that weather was far from appropriate for such a trip: heavy grey sky, temperature hardly above +4C, we even had snow today! But the trip was nice, and we had a lot of hot tea and coffee onboard. We also had a 4 hours long stop at the picturesque bank of the river where I had a great opportunity to walk in autumn woods.
As for my wish I made in Kolomenskoe, I'm afraid I have to wait quite long before it come true.

This weekend Moscow celebrates its 860th birthday. It's nothing comparing with Rome or Paris but still the city is of considerable age. For that reason there is a lot of decoration all over the streets, free concerts, fairs, festivals and other entertaining programms for masses in which I take no pleasure. The weather is not in favour with residents either: the air is not warmer than +15C (and it was colder yesterday!). So I would rather stay inside, and that's exactly what I did.
This photograph present the Kremlin wall, a view from Moscow river.

Boats competition
I had some troubles with my office computer today and spent half a day fixing the problem. Had I not been a computer person, though, it would have taken much longer or I would have lost all my data. Anyway, with a little help of my colleagues I've got a working machine after all and can even post a photo.
The photo, by the way, has nothing to do with my story but shows one of the boats competition which are help on Moscow river during summertime.

In this picture you can see all kinds of city transport: metro and cars on the bridge and boats on the Moscow river.
Check out my extension site For better view of that unique double-leveled bridge.
