Today's accidental photography

 Here's today's accidental photography a bit of neo(n)-noir, with a beer, here in Moscow, in some corner of it, close to home.






Here, take my money, you scary creature with the light swords, what are you?, but spare me life, I have other designs on it.



Today's beer Baltika Zhigulyovskoe (a type of Vienna lager but with extra alcohol content), not too good either, but cheap and extra-strong 7% abv or whatever

Russian Wines

 Today was looking at some premium Russian wines at some wine emporium

Arthur Sarkissian Russian wines guide - pretty expensive too, hardcover, softcover and notebook to take wine-tasting notes





These are premium Russian wines from a variety of wine-growing regions and by different makes, all are supposedly highly rated.

Expensive too, no way your average americuck or europoo can afford any of them, I think.

Promenading on Tverskaya Street Oct 2024 Last Week

 Here is promenading on Tverskaya street in October 2024, last Saturday relative to date of this post, and mainly closer to city center.

Mayor's residence

He built him a nice urban garden opposite across the street with our money.

Different types of craft honeys, tasted a pistachio flavored honey



Back to Arbat where live, at least part of the time

More feeding time, careful

Didn't pass by on a chance to eat out at the zoo, Zoo Canteen, a basic canteen dinner.

Pea soup, beetroot salad (healthy), stewed potatoes with meat, fruity drink
