Moscow, April 2011
Some photos taken during my last layover in Moscow, in April 2011. An amazing complex of glass skyscrapers which were still under construction.
And going back to the hotel...

Dense smoke in Moscow II

Can't go outside... and it doesn't seem to get any better at Moscow...
Red Square and Kremlin will have to wait for another opportunity...
Dense smoke in Moscow
Moscow, August 2010
Due to several forest fires, Moscow has been covered with a dense smoke/smog blanket.
While passing 10.000ft during our descent to Domodedovo Airport we started to notice an intense smell of burning wood in the whole cabin of our Airbus which scared some passengers that thought there was something wrong with the aircraft!
Visibility is also severely affected as you can see in the following photos taken outside the terminal of the airport.
Despite of the air being somewhat unbreathable I hope to go to the Red Square tomorrow...
First time in Moscow
Moscow, July 2010
It was just a night stop. Not much time to see what everyone should see when going to Moscow. But I will certainly be back there: I will eat borsch soup again; I will walk through the Old Arbat and see the Kremlin and Lenin's Mausoleum; I will buy an Аэрофлот t-shirt and maybe an old airline pilot's hat.
But for now, some photos from the hotel...
