Currently, I only remember the annoying things – the endless lines, the rude shop assistants and the crammed metro. I will soon experience all that. How come I never remember any nice things about Russia before going there? I know there are many nice things to look forward to. I know it will be three splendid weeks. Most certainly! Let’s take a look at old photos!
Av en eller annen grunn sitter ’takk’ langt inne når folk ønsker meg god ferie. Å, vent – jeg vet hvorfor: Den årlige reisen Russland klarer alltid å sjokkere meg køene som møter meg allerede på flyplassen. Man må også vente i butikkene hvor ansatte ofte snakker i telefonen mens de blar i magasiner, før de hardt forteller (de måtte tross alt legge fra seg alle sine andre gjøremål!) at vil du vite om pølsa er god – da får du kjøpe den! Og alle tar i mot rådet med stoisk ro, alle er overlevende av rush-trafikken. Mer skal til for å vippe oss over kanten, kø-snikere for eksempel. Neida, det blir en fantastisk tur! Det blir alltid det, om ikke annet – periodevis. En titt i fotomappa:
Last year my camera stopped working on the first day! These pictures were shot in Moscow, with a borrowed Canon.

Nice Pictures from Russia.
I think a place is always different when you visit-look forward to *seeing* what you see! Safe travels-
Moscow looks so interesting! I really want to visit there, but have also heard some scary things about it!
beautiful pictures as usual
Great pictures. I have never been to Russia. It made me laugh to see snow missing from your shots. I thought it was cold an snowing there all year round! 😎 Namaste. . . .Anne
Thanks for visiting my blog ..visit again and often….
Haha! Last I was in Moscow it was very hot! 30+ celcius/almost 90 fahrenheit! The winters are cold though..
Fantastic pictures! I haven’t been there in five years, and the Novy Arbat pictures make me want to jump in an airplane now and check it out.
Reblogged this on All Things Russian: Stories, Culture, and Food and commented:
Take a look at these fantastic pictures of Moscow from Ksenia Novikova’s blog. Stunning!!!
The photos came out well! Do you visit every year?
Imponerende billeder – i gamle dage talte man altid om de lange køer i de sovjet-russiske forretninger – det har så ikke ændret sig kan jeg forstå… 🙂
Awesome.
That happened to me as well.. I lived there for 2 years and now that my russian-life has finished I’m not feeling nostalgic at all. But your pics are amazinig! Enjoy Moscow, take a lot of beautiful pictures and don’t pay attention on rude shop-assistants 😉
Nice! I absolutely love my trips to Russia, and tend to forget the rude remarks, pick-pocketeers, expiring food on the shelves etc. 🙂 You’ve got some amazing pictures! Keep traveling, sharing photos and stay safe! 🙂
From Russia with love indeed. Beautiful images. AND I’m jealous, my grandma was Russian Jew, so I always wanted to go.
lovely images! i’d love to visit russia one day…
Ksenia, where is Lipetsk? 🙂 Aunt Sv.
😀 that’s where I am right now!
wonderful photos! Btw, are you on a world tour?? 🙂
haha! it almost feels like it!
Lovely! Russia scares me a bit. It’s kind of big and mad. But I’m very lucky with the Russians I got to know. Fun people.
A great selection of images, they give you a good feel for the place. I really like the angled shot of the Kremlin!
thanks 😀 I was happy about that shot too – framing stuff with 50mm lens is not always easy..
I agree about the 50mm, it’s a good challenge!
Very nice photos.
