Today's beer was Hoppymilk milkshake apa by a local Moscow microbrewery - beer 138
About minus 15 Celcius today and was getting colder as the day progressed.
The style is milkshake APA, some people even know what APA stands for.
But there is a jungle amidst the snow.
In my travel localized travel series, here is a walk at the North River Terminal in northern Moscow.
So, a photo walk through the Northern River Terminal and the surrounding area in January 2021.
The North River Terminal is a famous landmark that only recently got restored (in August 2020) after many decades of neglect.
It was built in the late 1936 when the then Soviet authorities completed a huge project of building waterways and river channels and effectively linking an inland Moscow with no less than five seas over tens of thousands of kilometers via artificially built channels and existing rivers.
The River Terminal and the surrounding area, including the park, opened after restoration in August 2020, but we were there for the first time only recently - in January 2021.
In general, not bad, although a bit too light painted. In addition, many passages and exits to the second floor are still (or already) closed.
Obviously, the sculptural composition depicting a group of dolphins from the southern end has not been completed yet.
A view out on the embankment, the same dolphins below.
The interior is superb!
The ceiling.
A view on the south side.
The embankment.
There are already questions about the embankment.
Somehow everything now feels crowded ...
And the old atmosphere also disappeared but the new hasn't yet set in.
But the park was the most unlucky - the southern part was almost completely cut down to make way for something incomprehensible, a car parking lot?
And what was not cut down was thinned out - from the dense half-forest that used to be, only one alley remains.
Here, in Moscow, we have a complete idiot in the "mayor" who can't stand trees and cuts them down where he sees them and he has a team of like-minded inbred degenerates looking up to the corrupt plutocratic West for inspiration on how to make the life of people more unbearable.
There used to be some figurines around the spire.
Facade, the east facing side.
Bas-relief decorations or something. The bas-reliefs are beautifully restored - these are some of them.
Especially pay attention to the one below. This is the confluence of the Moskva channel and the river Volga and the Moscow Sea - the Ivankovskoe reservoir.
Here you can see the dam of the Ivankovskoye Hydroelectric Power Station at the bottom right, a gigantic monument to Lenin, which has survived to this day, as well as - opposite it - a monument to Stalin, which was destroyed in the late 1950s at the behest of Khrushchev.
Art installation in the lobby.

In my B Suit
This is my enforcer look.
I am a small time sole proprietor and do my enforcing and (heavy) handle security all by myself.
As regards the mid-grey suit and black shirt combo, questions have been raised by implication at SF no less.
Well, the answer is the mid-grey suit plus black shirt is an accepted combo and is listed as such in style books and various assorted writings on the Internet, except with the caveat that it's tricky and better avoided if the wearer is at all uncomfortable or doubting himself which luckily I never am, still nothing unusual or out of the ordinary, except again low contrast ties are recommended for this particular combo like greys or even black ones.
Deets after the jump.
