Photo Travel: Couple Hours at an Abandoned Estate and Park

Here is a photo account of a few hours at an abandoned estate and an adjacent park somewhere in Moscow

The estate dates well back to the 18th century and is described in more detail in this Russian language wikipedia entry - Покровское-Стрешнево.

In the park there are lots of Ruddy Shelducks even with Shelducklings.

Two graves by the gates.

A picturesque wall with a grand gate.

And I suppose snappers, even amateur ones like me, will snap aka take pictures.

Food Photography: Beef Stroganoff and Bloody Mary

First exposure achieved with the aid of a smartphone controlled Sony HDR-AS50 wide angle action cam.

The other exposures are from my Sony rx100 m2.

Tomato based drinks go nice with potatoes... or even before it as in this case.

Early Morning at Moscow Zoo in May
