Nostalgic Greetings!

There are still many photos to share of a few more weeks of travel in Russia earlier this year, including from the coldest temperatures I’ve ever experienced. Don’t worry; in Totma, which this latest gallery showcases, the temperatures were still fairly mild. It is a place where the rich history of its glory days is still remembered, even if it all took place long before any of the current population was born. The buildings tell the best stories here:

Here’s hoping you enjoy the past, present and future, maybe all at the same time!
