Cinderella is not Russian is she? I know she really likes shoes, and so do Russian women, but she is more into glass than fur.
Speaking of which, Ukrainian women have some of the most outrageous boots you have ever seen. I really need to grab some shots of these things. They are more crazy than anything Chevy and Dan would wear in Spies Like Us, and twice as wild as anything Harry and Lloyd would wear as part of their apres-ski ensemble.

I was peeking back through my previous photos today for an unexpected reason and decided to put together some of my favorite winter photos today! I came across it because people sprinkle comments all over the 1000+ posts here on the blog every day. It's very hard for me to keep up... I usually only get to respond to the most recent comments on newer posts, but I do go back on occasion. Anyway, it occurred to me, on one of these back-dives, that a lot of these older photos have probably not been seen by all the new people that have joined the blog in the past few years!

This is Cathedral of the Dormition at the Pechersk Lavra in Kiev. It was cold and my tripod was like holding on to liquid nitrogen.
The cathedral was built by a group of Antonite monks from Constantinople on top of a complex network of caves under the Berestov Mount overlooking the Dneiper river.
Detail: Large on Black
Thanks for all the comments on my stream. Here are Your Favorite shots! And here is Page 2 Thanks again!

This basilica in Kiev has this wonderful black base that really lets the gold and trimmings pop and shine. There is also that little tiny chandalier there, which you may not have noticed!
