Usually I dislike simply linking to big image dumps in some forums, but this one is special. Great shots from rural Russia. (I guess? Anyone out there can help me there?)
Like van Gogh the photographer took some time at the grace and beauty of normal life, age and the landscape. It takes some love and an open mind to see that we are all beautiful, even in the most forgotten places on earth …
Can’t seem to get into SU this weekend, no page to do with SU will even begin to load. Presuming others are having the same trouble. Makes a change, I suppose, anyway made up for it with a visit to your page.
Russian or otherwise they are a great set of pictures, would stumble the bikes at the fork in the track one, if only my stumbleblog button was alive.
Also made a bit of a monster due to following another one of your links…one of the kids was very impressed when they came up behind me.
And, so ends the second day with no SU ….;-]
@Lisa: Welcome back! 
Thanks for your comment - hope your stumble is working again so you can continue your addiction?
No fakes and no insults please. Thanks!
