Tverskaya to Red Square

Streets of Moscow -- a walk along Tverskaya Street on and almost to Red Square on the first day of the new 2015 year, in the evening.

Starting along Tverskaya Street which leads on to the Kremlin.

At the Central Post Office (with the screen), Red Square can already be seen in the distance.

What looks like a giant New Year Tree toy thronged by people, I don't find it very interesting.

Center is what used to be the Marxist History Museum.

Unfortunately the weather is nasty -- a major thaw, snow to slush everywhere, grey skies but it is warm for the season. 

Old and New Arbat - Streets of Moscow

Streets of Moscow continues...

Mobile phone pictures of Moscow's Old (Stary) and New (Novy) Arbat streets on December 29, 2014 just before the New Year.

Old Arbat first in wintry conditions, like minus 10 Celcius - nice.

New Year stalls selling souvenirs also food, including expensive sturgeon caviar -- I saw it.

New Arbat now... Moscow's famous New Arbat high-rises -- two rows of them, dez rez and expensive too.

The House of the Book book store on Novy Arbat.

Very blue skys on December 29, 2014.

Streets of Moscow - Paveletsky Railway Station

More Streets of Moscow in phone photography...

Monday (Dec 22, 2014)'s pics... the subject is being at Moscow's Paveletsky Railway Station and on streets around it. 

Exiting said station onto Paveletsky Square which unfortunately is all under construction (which has been going on for decades already). 

A major busy street leading past the station... lots of lit up buildings.

Air Views of Moscow on AirPano.ru

Air views of Moscow (and lots of other stuff) on www.AirPano.ru.

As I said, beside Moscow, there are a lot of other places...

Park walk

More Moscow park walks... and more park views.

In fact, it's the same park I continue to explore -- the Druzhba park in the north of Moscow -- as I pass through the place at least twice weakly.

This was on August 20, 2014.

Nice park if a bit small but there are ponds and boats can be hired.

Moscow Monorail Trip

A trip by Moscow Monorail on a sunny September day - September 7, 2014, some photos (clickable).

A view from Ulitsa Milashenkova Station, looking in the direction of the Western terminal point.

Awaiting the train...

And you can see it coming (above).

A human ant hill.

Now photos shot through the carriage window on the move.

Below -- the famous Worker and Farmer sculpture.

That's at the end station.
