Snowy mural on a Moscow street wall 2013
I was in Moscow during the summer of 2013.
I flew there from the city of Petropavlovsk in the Russian Far East,
on the Kamchatka Peninsula. It was 9 hour flight across Siberia and,
on landing, Moscow was drenched in heavy rain.

The following day the sun came out and I was able to see how wonderful
the city really is, an amazing blend of old and new.
Now Moscow is in the midst of winter - on checking I see today the high
is 28F and the low will be 19F - we were almost that cold here yesterday,
but have no snow as they most likely do.
If you haven't seen this video, filmed on the Sparrow Hills overlooking
Moscow, do watch.
It's a 'flash mob' to beat most flash mobs you may have viewed online - or
maybe even watched in person.
It will cheer you, put an end to the winter blues, make you smile, tap your
toes, wish you were there. . . . . . sing or hum along and just enjoy in Full Screen -
