“The calendar says it’ll be Spring soon…”
It seems as though the weather forgot that it’s March. My host mom never says that Spring is coming soon, only that the calendar says it’s coming. I’m actually enjoying the snow though, I prefer it over the hail and rain that’s going to come when it warms up – the snow is just so much calmer! I thought I’d share some photos I took the past couple days:
My attempt at an artsy photograph of the monument to Aleksandr Pushkin, one of Russia’s most famous poets and the one who brought colloquial language to Russian literature, in Ploshchad iskusstv (Square of the Arts). On Saturday I’ll be going to the city of Pushkin, also known as Tsarskoe selo, where he lived and studied for a good portion of his life (which was short because he died in a duel, like all respectable 19th-century Russians):
Some photos of the pouring snow we got yesterday on my street, Krasnoarmeyskaya:
The icon of my neighborhood, just five blocks up the road, Izmaylovskiy sobor:
