Snow in Moscow
To get into the seasonal spirit, I've decided on a series of snowy postcards. I apologise to all you people in warmer countries but in the same way that I associate windmills with the Netherlands, I associate Christmas with snow. I don't believe I've ever experienced a white Christmas and I'm not sure that I want to, but I do enjoy snowy postcards.
This one shows the Red Square in Moscow at night, under a covering of snow. The red stars on top of the Kremlin towers aren't Christmas decorations, as I fondly imagined. I've see them in other pictures. Nevertheless, it looks very magical and Christmas-like to me.

I don't like snow but the picture is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI do like snow and I love the idea of tromping through Moscow wearing boots and a big warm coat and a hat with fur on it...O.K. fake fur.
ReplyDeleteCards - the best place for snow. I agree it's photogenic. Here today and gone tomorrow is the way I like it.
ReplyDeleteYes, snow is very pretty on cards and in films, but that’s where it should stay.
ReplyDeleteThank you....That did put me in the Christmas mood. I do love the snow, just not the shoveling!
