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).

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.

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.

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