Modern meets old

Modern museum built to reflect the style of Tsaritsyno, with the reflection of one of the elaborate buildings :)

The old style is represented in coral pink and white brick, and in contrast, the modern style is made entirely from glass. Certainly creates an interesting perspective!

As I read your comments on my yesterday's post, I realized that you took it for photo of a pathway. I should have explained that! It was not a trail but a narrow channel, kind of drainage for ponds system. Here is the closer view, can you see water surface covered with fallen leaves?

P.S. And even closer view on my extension site.

My dear visitors,
thanks a million for your stopping by and commenting my blog! I really appreciate your attention. I'm awfully sorry for not being able to answer everyone but I'm desperately busy these days. Sharon honoured me with BFF award last Friday, and I didn't get a chance to pass it further yet! But I definetely will, I promise. Soon.

Autumn games - 2

More photos of having autumn fun here and on my extension site.

Autumn games

These days are over now, but when the weather was dry and relatively warm people loved to come to parks and make fools of themselves. Not only children but their parents and even grands, not to mention teens and pet dogs, were running, rolling over, tossing and mining into soft colourful mass of fallen leaves.

Autumn in Tsaritsyno

Another version on my extension site.

Another photo of Tsaritsyno park. This one shows new constructions (bridge and fontain), as well as old buildings (on the background).

Large Bridge in Tsaritsyno

Large is not a description of this bridge but its name. According to official site of Tsaritsyno museum, it was built at the end of XVIIIth century by Vasili Bazhenov. There used to be a stream in that ravine (I personally saw it a couple years back), but it was dried up within the scope of latest reconstruction.

P.S. Another view on my extension site.

When trees start 'undressing', people over here like to gather colourful leaves and make bouquets or wreathe crowns. So you can see results of such art nearly everywhere as you walk along the park: on a tree, in a pond, on a bench...

It's not only me who admires autumn colours...

Tsaritsyno

And here is Tsaritsyno park itself. It was rather abandoned for a long time but a few years back there began a great reconstruction. Ponds were cleared, trees and bushes partly cut to give way lawns, palace (which stood half-constructed for 300 years!) was completed. Except this palace thing and elimination of hundreds trees, park was really improved.

Honey fair, part 2

Moscow fair offers both clear honey and honeycomb. Here is an example of latter. And, obviously, it's not only people who's fond of honey!
