С Днём России

Кофе с каком

Ледокол Байкал

We were in fact talking about Murmansk and the big atomic icebreaker, but then I found this little article in a 1928 paper.
Those were the days...

Wat is er nog toe te voegen aan de leuke foto's in het bericht van Erwin?
Nou, hooguit een filmpje. Bij deze dus.

Масленица 2016

 In Westervoort, bij Project Kultura. Where else.
Met raadsels, spelletjes, wedstrijdjes en vooral heel veel...
Pannenkoeken natuurlijk !

Церковь Параскевы Пятницы на Ярославовом дворище

On my photography blog, http://analoog60.blogspot.com/ was a lòt of interest in this very old, 1207, church. So here, again, some more, old pictures.

Храм Спаса на Крови

The church in the background is built on the spot where tsar Alexander II was murdered, "on the blood".
It is also a protest against European architecture (f.i. this Mikhailovsky palace) - and I agree.
Why should a Russian city look like Paris, or Amsterdam (of all places...).
What's wrong with Moscow, or Irkutsk?
There's more Russian architecture on my other blog: http://analoog60.blogspot.com/
