Cool statue of Russian partisans (WWII) in the metro "Partizanskaya"

At the entrance to Izmailovsky Park (big open air market) they had some bears. The darn bears kept moving whenever I had a good shot set up.

This poor little guy just wanted to go see the sights in Moscow but he's got that big metal cable around his neck. "I think that means he's married or something."

This place is awesome. It's got everything from matroshka dolls and souvenirs to swords knives and army surplus stuff. Almost like a grown fellar's Chuckee Cheese.

This is the clothing section of the market. This row alone stretched about as long as a large city block. (Male reader's cringe) Now I know what you're thinking guys, cuz the thought went through my head a few times as well. "That's even worse than Super Target" but let me reassure you. Two rows over, you've got old army hand grenades and gas masks. Now she's going to be the one whining "Haven't we been here long enough?" "No" shall be your reply. And with the best Darth Vader impression that you can muster up, you'll command her to hand you your light saber and prepare the thrusters for light speed.

Yes, this is why girls question our place in a species of intelligent beings. But, is she going to want to go shopping again next weekend? I think not... And if she does, will she want to bring you along? Exactly... Now that's what I call intelligence.

This guy had his arm around the bear and was smiling for the perfect camera shot, then he saw me pull out my camera and walked away. Maybe it was my "Stop exploiting the animals" t-shirt that did him in.

Is it just me or is there something strangely hot about a girl in a skirt with a machine gun?
