Now, the snow has gone - finally - in Moscow, and the grass is growing, but I have to be honest, there isn't much in the way of green and growing things to show you just yet. Ask me to show you 'Green' next week and I expect it to be a whole different story, but right now? Not so much.
Instead then, here are two photographs I took recently on a trip to a city about 200km north of Moscow called Rostov Veliky (trans; Rostov The Great, as opposed to Rostov the not-so-great which I'm assured exists a little further away). The Kremlin there (for oh yes, Red Square doesn't have the monopoly on that word; it means 'fortress') is old and beautiful, but I'm not going to show you that this time around (been there, done that, for Silent Sunday).
So here are a couple of details - green, obviously - that caught my eye elsewhere in the town...
A tile on the side of a building, just because...
And this is where the old window frames which I photographed in glorious situ last September, go to to die... (or, to be sold on to gullible Muscovites at vastly inflated prices. Whichever happens first.)
Your pictures are always lovely! Great variation of the green theme! Emma :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Love the window frames. xx
ReplyDeleteI love this 'outside the box' submission to the gallery - thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteThose photos are of stunning objects, I'd love one of those frames; they are gorgeous. Can you imagine one in a dividing garden fence?
ReplyDeleteLovely photo's. I do like that tile
ReplyDeleteGreat variation of the green theme!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, especially like the tile. :)
ReplyDeleteI love those window frames. Can you imagine the prices they'd go for in London!
ReplyDeleteOh, I want one, those frames are stunning. Couldn't find anything like that in Lanzarote, or Norway for that matter!
ReplyDeleteNow look here after all these comments about wanting those window frames maybe you should set up business - I want one too for my bathroom...no I have no idea why just because, like the tile!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous window frames. It's a shame that they have to go to die!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photo's, hoe decorative the frames are out there. Glad the snow has gone also.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your snow is disappearing I was so surprised to see so much of it when I was the at the end of March
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures. I love how the green jumps out of the shot
