A Day of Mourning in Russia!

Svetlana travels this Metro almost everyday of her life and today she captured on film a Moscow in mourning.

One of the little known facts about this Metro bombing was that most of the victims are young adults suffering from massive internal injuries. That is because this was also known as the University line. (At least that is what I call it.) Students are traveling to the Moscow University to attend classes...

The massive internal injuries where caused in part by the fact that the explosives were designed on purpose to have excess shrapnel in them. The plastic explosive was embedded with nails, nuts, bolts and other small metal objects. Then when the explosion goes off it sends hundreds of projectiles in all directions to maximize injuries and death...

The dead and injured include students from around the world also. That information will be brought out later in time.

Above and Below - I wanna ride!

I love it when I come upon places like this for kids. I was walking to the store to get groceries and took a different way to the store. That is when I came upon this wonderful little amusement area for kids. This is a commercial establishment of course, but I have always loved bright and colorful things!

It makes me wish to be a kid again for just an hour and ride that train...

Moscow Russia Through Svetlana's Eyes!

Svet once again was chasing everyone around with her camera:

Photo Below - A monk collecting money for his monastery and three musicians collecting money for themselves! I wonder who collected the most money?

They are both together the church and the smokestack... and I felt some harmony looking at them that morning.
