I found the single dry spot on Red Square, set up my tripod and shot this night view of famous St. Basil's Cathedral. The tower heads are always beautiful but I think the snow caps add a little extra.

View from the balcony of my temporary Moscowian apartment. All houses in the area look exactly the same, so it's like viewing into a mirror.

Some bridge over Moskva River between Gorki Park and Kremlin. The color of the light is varying over the full spectrum, purple looked best.

Shot from right in front of the main entry of Moscow's Lomonossow University. Impossible to keep the lens dry due to heavy snow.

At first glance, it looks like I've sneaked into some restricted area to take this picture of the Vostok carrier rocket. But this was not necessary, this retired rocket is on public display in Moscow's All-Russian Exhibition Centre (VDNKH).
