Pictures of Moscow part 2

Welcome! That's the second page of my pictures of Moscow gallery. To start from beginning, click here. If you're here on purpose, let's continue! I can't wait to show you more of the city I live in!

The ruins of Communism

Ahh, this one is so symbolic! All of the former "gods" just lying there, kicked by the history. In fact, that's a part of Art Museum exhibition, but it looks more like a dump. Well, I'm not gonna miss those dinosaurs. They surely got what they deserved!

Storm in Moscow

Moscow storm is a perfect example of global warming. I remember how it started several years ago. Imagine a perfect summer day, you're strolling around, minding your business, wearing pants and T-shirt. Suddenly everything gets dark, the skies roam and next thing you see is a full-scale tropic flood all around. You're wet from head to toes, the roads turn to rivers, and there's nowhere to run. Then, after 5 minutes - it's summer again. That's no Vietnam, ladies and gentlemen, that's Russia!

Looks so....weird. But hey, that's Moscow as well! Don't worry, these people are harmless, but they are so exotic! If you meet them, be sure to take a picture. It brings good luck (kiddin')! By the way, in Russian this is called "Krestnyi Khod" (The Crucifix Walking).

This picture doesn't look like much, but I felt I needed to include it because it shows how we, Muscovites, see our city. Just another evening in Moscow, people are coming back from work, their families waiting. No sights around, no fancy bars and restaurants. It's us and our lives, the average folks you see on the street. Care to drop by?
