I've not done this for a while - pure laziness, probably - but this week I'm submitting a photo for Week 214 of Tara's Gallery over at Sticky Fingers.
Well; how could I not? This week's theme is 'Trees', and if there's one thing Russia has in abundance, it's trees. Honestly, I was spoiled for choice when it came to selecting a photo. There was only ever going to be one winner for me though; this shot, taken a couple of years back when I visited Izmailovsky Park on one of Phoebe's Walks (long-term Moscow expats will know what that means) and turned a corner to be confronted with this Lothlorien-like grove of silver birches.
Even to look at it briefly calms my soul.
