Blog Day: Best Photo of 2009

Hi Everyone,

now that Irina and Ashira are taking care of this blog, I am happy to stop by once in a while and see that everything is going great. I'm absolutely delighted to watch new authors' creativity and would like to welcome all new followers attracted to Moscow Daily Photos.

Today is Blog Day, and the topic is the Best Photo of 2009. Irina wrote me about it and asked to choose the picture for this post. Well, it's been a hard, really hard work. And although I'm extremely fond of flowers I made a decision in favour of Moscow river photo taken in Kolomenskoe park last September. I hope you'll share my pleasure of seeing it again.

I would also like to take my chance to thank Irina and Ashira for their invaluable contribution to this blog. Good job, girls!

Sunset in Kolomenskoe

Here I am, with one of my late September photographs.
I heard it's snowing in Moscow now though from my point of staying it's so hard to believe in snow!

I will try to post more photos shortly since I finally got my home internet connection.

It's was great to get your comments! Thanks :)

Sun-lit

For a while I will post no comment with my photos since I'm permanently running out of time these days. But hope it will not last long.

A side walk in Kolomenskoe park.

Kolomenskoe

On the high bank of Moscow-river you can see blue cupolas and and white towers - remains of once magnificant tsar's palace.

All apologies for being so late with today's posting but time is really hard on me lately. Hope you'll like those last greetings of flowering season.na

Harvest

Apple are plentiful this year. Every apple-tree about Moscow is heavy with fruits. Not all of them eatable, though, for wild ones are usually extremely sour. One more reason is ecology: I wouldn't risk having an apple grown in Moscow, especially next to some busy road.
Kolomenskoe park is famous for its apple gardens. If not something for my table but at least they make good pictures!

Would you believe it's Moscow DP?

As I told you a while back, Moscow-river is usually dark grey or nasty brown. But there was a day when the sky was of so rich a colour that even waters of Moscow-river looked surprisingly blue. And the boat happened to be tied at the bank.
The scene looked so far was typical Moscow landscape!

Catching wind

Stairway to...

Did I ever tell you that I have a thing for steps and stairways? Well, you might notice it yourself if you visit this blog now and then.
So here is another proof taken in Kolomenskoe park.

Sunset at Moscow river

In the park

Don't miss your chance to enjoy autumn park before weather turned to rainy!

Kolomenskoe park is located on the high bank of Moscow river. There are hills and gills, ups and downs, so well-designed steps make an important point of the landscape.

Moscow river

Last Monday was so great that even Moscow river looked blue in the center of the city! It can be counted next to miracle, I believe.

Upside down

There are few ponds in Kolomenskoe park. On a fine day the water can be so still, so glassy that you can't tell a difference between reflections and reality.

Sand art

The sand art international contest is being hosted in Kolomenskoe park. I visited it a couple days back and took these photos. To tell you the truth, I wasn't really impressed by scultures but I guess they made a good photo-collage.
