Pictures taken in central moscow on the 26th of February 2012
It wasa grey day and snowed for most of it. It was also very slushy which adds to the overall grimness of the scenes.
On a slightly brighter note this weekend saw the celebration of Maslitsa - the russian equivalent of carneval.
This shows two famous moscow icons together. The Kremlin on the left and the St Basil Church on the right. |
