Red Square revisted

Last weekend the plan was to visit the Tretyakov Gallery, but what began as a rainy day turned into something a little better. My Canadian co-worker and I took advantage of the temporary clear skies and visited the nearby Church of the Resurection of Kadashevsky

and the Church of the Consolation of all Sorrows:

Since my co-worker hadn't had a proper visit to the Red Square, we ventured over.

Man or mannequin?

Disturbing in a funny way, we saw these critters which were available for photos with none other than yourself.

This critter was not available for commercial purposes.

Bumped into Lenin and Stalin. Nice of them to make an appearance.
