Around the World: Moscow

I have still the flu, I'm walking around with pill for headache, watery nose and cough, but today, when I woke up, there was a slightly promise of blue sky and so I really couldn't stay inside my room. I went out like the Michelin man, all covered in different layers of dresses, and took the subway to the city centre... obviously, as soon as I was out of the Metro, it was raining :-( Well, I thought, I'm here, I'm covered, and I want to see the city, and so, I continue my walk, under a rain that was never, fortunately, too heavy to bother me too much. And strange thing, the sky was actually blue, when I could see it behind the clouds! Anyway, I walked for more or less 4 hours, I skipped lunch since the light hours are so few that I wanted to profit of all of them. Today was probably the better day for picture, I did a lot, but I chose to post only 6: I will save the others for my next pic spam appointments ;-)















No, I wasn't particularly interested in the Starsbuck Coffee, I first noticed the building behind and the nice effect of the windows with the blue sky. I was particurarly interested in the style of the building, even if it seems modern, I have the feeling that it's not, if I didn't know that it is quite impossible, I would say that it's a '60 or '70 building. Anyway, I'm like that, I notice the strangest things, and sometime my pictures have no reason if not to save in my memories the passing impression of a nice color, or of tree branches with red berry in front of a pink wall...

The buildings are stunning! It doesn't even take a good photographer (talking about myself here) to make a nice shot.
Starbucks was a great disappointment, though - they didn't have green tea latte!!! Can you imagine???
**rolls eyes... again** ;)

I didn't enter the coffee so I don't know their selection, but the coffee in my hotel (it's not Starbuck, it's a Russian chain) has a wonderful milk with honey ;-) Elisa
