Here’s a photo from Russia—a tank from the Kursk battlefield, which I visited last month, and a bird that was hopping in and out of it. Most of the other photos (all taken with throwaway cameras, hence thumb cameos) are up on Flickr too; I’ll be posting them here from time to time. Dig the ad for the Moscow “retro-style” restaurant whose decor “creates the atmosphere of the Soviet era 1970s.”
