The interesting thing about this shot is neither the sunset nor the bottle - it's the location! I really did not expect that they sell Munich's original Paulaner Hefe-Weißbier in the middle of far-off Lake Onega!

After arriving by Metro to the All-Russian Exhibition Centre I had this view of the Ostankino broadcast tower. The top is hidden within the clouds, actually I never saw it during my stay in Moscow. Only when I left the city I could spot the antenna on top above the clouds - but it was way to dark to make a good picture of it.

Walking around the Saint Petersburg city birthday celebrations I had this nice against-the-sun view of the Rostral Columns from the Admirality. During the day, I did not even recognize the torches, funny...

My hotel was located directly at the starting point of the Saint Petersburg's city birthday parade, thanks to my 200mm zoom I could capture some musicians.

This red steel tower is located nearby wooden Mandrogy village between lakes Ladoga and Onega and looks quite impressive from below. Tried to play a little with the DoF and the 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor.
