horourke - Feb, 10 2010 07:02am This picture reminds me of the atmosphere of quiet and pleasant weather that was a feature of Russian cities such as Krasnodar and Vologda when I was there twenty years ago. Thank you for the memory jorgesanchez - Feb, 10 2010 10:02am Hororurke: thanks for your comment. I know that you were in Russia. I saw your two Volgogda pictures. I uploaded yesterday one picture of Vologda, called: Heading to Ferapontov Monastery. Perhaps it will bring you memories. I visited the Ferapontov monastery and the wonderful frescoes of the monk Diunisius. That monastery, at about 100 kilomntres distance from Vologda is UNESCO Patrimony of the Humandkind. I had to hitch hike to get there (succesfully!)and in the way back to Vologda a young man who gave me a ride, stopped his car in another beautiful monastery called Kiril, another wonder.
