Moscow Holiday Season

 

 Saint Basil's Cathedral and Red Square

I was in Moscow this week and enjoyed the city, its beauty and the season's excitement. There has been much made of protests, but I saw none of that.  There is no other season in Moscow like winter and the streets were full of people heading to meet friends, going to parties and shopping for the holidays. Tuesday, I went to Red Square and photographed St. Basils Cathedral, with its fantastically-colored onion domes, in a thick snowfall.

 

 Hotel National 

The hotels near Red Square were full of business travelers and guests for holiday parties.  The Ritz Carlton had a function with Paul McCartney at the O2 Lounge and GUM, the beautiful shopping center next to Red Square, was busy with shoppers buying New Year gifts.
