We walked around a small fair area and I saw this... that says "Moscow" if you don't read Russian.
One of many fountains in Moscow
It was totally tulip season - I thought I was in Holland, not Moscow.
The three sisters back together again. The one in the middle is the one who has been serving her mission in Moscow... I haven't seen her for 18 months. To say the least, I'm thrilled to finally get her back.
Happy Birthday to you from Moscow and me!
Reflection of our hotel... the Sheraton
My beautiful older sister
I got a kick out of finding places to take pictures of our reflection
Walking around the Kremlin on Red Square
Moscow has this fantastic tradition of hanging locks on designated trees when a couple is married - there were literally thousands of locks on a street of trees.
St. Basil's Cathedral...not to be confused with the Kremlin. Isn't she beautiful?
Loved that red jacket on her

Matryoshka dolls... they even had "BYU" dolls
Another reflection picture - is that nerdy of me?

ReplyDeleteYa I don't know that posted anonymous, anyway, what camera and lens did you use? Also where are these elusive Photoshop recipes for editing mentioned above? I would love know how you got this effect!
ReplyDeleteI went to Russia for some piano stuff a few (like 10) years ago. I loved it. We spent time in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Moscow is amazing and I'd love to go back but don't know if and when it will happen.
ReplyDeleteThe crappy thing is that I was 15 when I was there and I look so awkward in all of my photos. You, on the other hand, look amazing!
