The 'hood...

I took my camera with me on my walk to the gym today.  I realized there is so much amazing architecture and rich culture all around us - wanted to share more in the blog.  I picked a random street to walk down - here’s what I saw:

Snow accumulation in a great park next to our building...

We often see people sitting on these benches and strolling through the park, even in this negative degree temperature!  (It was -15 F while on the walk - amazed the camera continued to operate...)

A view of our apartment building from afar - one of the largest in the center of Moscow... Power plant and great sushi restaurant to the left (not one in the same)

One of the thousands of cathedrals in Moscow - found on almost every street!

The cathedral doors...

A very old wooden door outside a gated office building...

More of the white stuff piled high...

Beautiful fence around another cathedral...

Another great wooden door leading into the cathedral...

The cathedral...

Yet another cathedral with office building right behind...

Subway - eat fresh!!

The entrance to our gym...pronounced "Onegin"

And walked home a different way down a busier street...
