Russia at Peace...

... and here are the rest of the photos from my Moscow excursion. It was the architecture that caught my eye most. The ladies all wear high heels (i know not why) but it was the architecture that intrigued me the most. I would go back in the winter... if i could afford it.

Russia at War...

... much of my free time in Moscow was spent touring two large Russian Military Museums and visiting their equivalent "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier". The military art and life-sized dioramas in the museums were intriguing but capturing their antiquated/historic missiles pointing up into the sky were most intriguing. They rightfully take very much pride in their WWII successes and the defeat of Nazi Germany.
