Photo Walk: A Jungle in the Snow

Here is a recent photo walk: A Jungle in the Snows of Moscow!

White vs. green.

Lots of snow in Moscow this year... though I have seen much more... anyway trust me to find a jungle even in the midst of a snowy winter with lots of green stuff and I don't mean an artificial football pitch either.

Naturally, to find a jungle in the winter, you go to Botanical Gardens.

Specifically to the old Orangery aka greenhouse.

It's a 1930s building.

Here it is, a tropical paradise.

Here is something for contrast.

A nice place to while away a couple of hours... and partake of some refreshments too.

Bird of paradise flower.

My Moscow Travelog : Out and About in Moscow: VDNKh on July 5, 2020

Out and About in Moscow: VDNKh on July 5, 2020.

So, on the date first above written, just went on a long trek through the famed VDNKh facility in Moscow with an equally long detour to the Moscow Botanical Garden.

Lots of flowers and fountains; the one below is the Friendship of People's fountain.

This one is the Stone Flower fountain which was renovated last year I think.

As I said lots of flowers everywhere, and also lots of people, hardly anyone is wearing a face mask, the whole Coronavirus thing seems like a distant memory.

Here is a place to eat out soon - the Moscow Sky Restaurant.

Horse sculpture.

And yet another fountain - the Golden Ear fountain.

In the Moscow Botanical Garden - people nearly trampled all grass in their effort to take pictures with flowers.
