25 May 2007 going for a walk after the classical music concert


Above: after a classical music concert we went for a stroll in Moscow. What's crazy is that this picture was taken at around 10:00 pm. The days are getting long.
Above: So we're walking and talking, talking and walking and all of the sudden I reallize David Miller is gone, I think to myself " oh never mind, oh wow what's that? a really cool WWII statue. Who is that wierdo who's trying to hoist himself up the thing by the barrel of the gun?" And that's the story of how I found David Miller. Crawling around a huge statue on a crowded square Friday night in Moscow. One guy saw me take the picture and asked if I was going to go up there with him.

Oh Miller...

Other Monastaries, Cathedrals, etc

Above and below: While taking a stroll through Kolomenskii park Monday evening, I decided to pretend to be a photographer. Below: I like how I made a natural frame for the cathedral domes by utilizing the branches and foliage to accessorize this portrait. Ya Molodets

This is a monestary by my old mission office. We went there on Tuesday (22nd) but they just so happened to be closed every tuesday.

Sunday 20 May

The Donskoi Monastery right by my appartment. I went on a walk Sunday to check it out but it closed right before I got there. I'll be back though.
Look at the lady walking on the street to gauge how big those onion domes are.
