Couple Hours at an Abandoned Estate and Park

Here is a photo account of a few hours at an abandoned estate and an adjacent park somewhere in Moscow

The estate dates well back to the 18th century and is described in more detail in this Russian language wikipedia entry - Покровское-Стрешнево.

In the park there are lots of Ruddy Shelducks even with Shelducklings.

The right wing of the manor house on the estate, for some reason I missed the central building.

Two graves by the gates.

A picturesque wall with a grand gate.

Tomato based drinks go nice with potatoes... or even before it as in this case.

Water Of The Day - Perrier x Murakami

 Today's water of the day.

I seem to recollect Patric Bateman, he of the American Psycho fame, had a long exposition on various mineral waters, but even he didn't get to drink this one.

Perrier x Murakami Special Edition

I especially like the Murakami bit.

Murakami rings a bell too but very distantly.

Early Morning at Moscow Zoo

 Here are some photos taken of an early morning at the Moscow Zoo in May.

Flamingos.

A sleeping panda, Dindin, I believe.

A waking panda.

The famous Moscow Zoo pond.

Peacocks.

I could have taken a feather... but didn't of course.
