Friends, I am so sorry I do not feed back to your nicest comments and kind reaction to these posts. Thank you so much!
Happy photographing!

Street Lamp in Knitted Coat

I have recently read about the knitted decorations of lamps, benches and pergolas in the renovated Gorky park as the reminder that the winter was almost here.
I stopped to check the place this Saturday. I am not sure if the street lamps feel warmer, but  colors are great joy for the eyes in grey Moscow November.

Friends, thank you so much for your comments and feed back. I appreciate every word you send me.

As I do not want to stop this blog, but have no much time for it, I decided to keep posting the photos of Moscow but in more formal way, cutting my comments and researches in city history. Let's see how it will turn out!
Meanwhile I keep looking for co-bloggers, located in Moscow.

Sunny Day in November

Yesterday it was amazing sunny autumn day.

I want to ask my readers to pardon me for the absence and occasional posts.

I do not manage to post on daily basis and that is why I will be glad if someone of my Moscow located readers will be interested to join this photoblog and to post Moscow photos together with me. If you want to be in, please leave your comment here and I will contact you or please send me a message.

Face to Face

October is in the city. Days are grey and the sky is low. Rainy, but warm. City is coming to standstill in traffic jams and rain drops.

This narrow and short side street has two beautiful churches facing each other. I wonder if they compete in chiming.

Zachatievsky Convent

I know that the number of churches in this blog is overwhelming, that it is not religious blog, that Moscow is big enough to find objects for interesting photos in thousands places, but I post the photo of church again. Just can not help it. So beautiful in the setting autumn sun.

The man in orange t-shirt is worker from Uzbekistan, Central Asia. So many of them are wage labourers in Moscow, doing simple and cheap work, cleaning, restoring, improving the city. I can not imagine how Moscow look without them in yards, roads and streets.

The church belongs to Zachatievsky convent. The convent was founded in 1584, plundered and closed in 1925 and resumed in 1995.

Prechistenka

Today the weather was very kind, again. Sunny, warm and golden. I took a walk along Ostozhenka and Prechistenka streets, still full of architectural treasures (though the Golden Rain of 1990ties washed away so many priceless historical and cultural rarities, exchanged them to comfort and novelty).

I will keep posting my today's sunny catch during next week, though they promise sharp change in the weather in nearest future.

Autumn Sky

I think that only in autumn you can see here this combination of bright sunny color and dark dramatic sky. On a special object.
Archangelskoe, mid-September.

Sun and rain at the same time happened at Gorki park in the beginning of September.

Update to my previous post: I made mistake when identified the old auto, it was Gaz-21 Volga, not Moskvich. Sorry and thanks to Anonymous who corrected me.

September Evening

Yesterday we had amazing sky over calm and still September city in the evening. At Fadeeva street.

My photo was overcast, I tried to correct it in Photoshop, so please be indulgent.

Reflections of the rainy day.

Now I plan to go to see your blogs' posts. I am really busy these days, but promise to visit every blog, as it is pleasure, not duty.

GUM in Autumn

This is the main fountain in GUM shopping mall, all decked out for autumn. Doesn't resemble a fountain at all now, does it? GUM changes its decorations for each season - here's what it looked like this summer. I love the details they've put into this display, and it certainly gave off an autumn-y vibe! It's a nice change, since the weather outside is much more like winter than autumn... :( I hope you're all enjoying autumn, and it's providing many photo opportunities :)
