A new year have started!

I have used my camera since my last update on this blog. After 1,5 year after our arrival in Moscow we are not getting stuffed with impressions even we could feel that way. Due to each day we walk around in the city it changes and new impressions get to us.

 

 

 

 

It is the architecture that we can look at and find it more amazing second time we look at a building or third. Always something new to discover, and so with the cultural activity that the city authorities organize, it just gets us in the mood like they did this New Year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We very often come across walls painted, either in an artistic way or as a memory for famous Russian cultural artist like Bulgakov and others. It gives a clear indication that people are not forgotten and that the city cares about these people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another event we very often come across is married couples out in the city to get their wedding photo. Coming from a country where it is a regular custom to have a large party, in Moscow it is almost like the have the party as they shot the photos. OK I am sure most ends up at a restaurant and later with a smaller party in a home, but it cost a lot and most newly married in Moscow have a restricted income and now parents that throw them a big party.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

X-mas was here, first our European Christmas and into January the “local” Christmas so we have celebration for a long time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now winter is here, a bit more than last winter so we have seen more snow, have had more cold weather and we are just days into the New Year. It is nice to have some to look forward to, like we know what is coming during the next 2 – 3 months of cultural activity and fun walks around this beautiful city and more to tell about in the process for more friends to be interested to dare visit Moscow.
