    Oh Brrr, is right!
    So looking at all these beautiful pictures, on the side of a building in the first one with the pretty orange and yellow buildings is a "STOP" sign? In English?

    You really managed to convey icy cold despite the nice sunny blue sky in the first photos, and how uncomfortable the people are in the last ones.

    I enjoyed seeing some of your local scenery.

    Great, Yuri, just what I was looking for. Now we need some Russian "How cold was it" jokes.
    If not now, when?

    I like your first one.

    I got a chuckle out of #5, simply because that's how I look on those extremely cold mornings when I have to walk my huskies...and you know them huskies LOVE being out in the snow!

    Great shots as always Yuri.

    Brrrr! Beautiful shots. Great work on the snow. The people shots give me a real feel for how it is to deal with all that cold on a daily basis, going to work and about daily life. I like to visit the snow for a while and enjoy skiing and such, but that's so different than dealing with it while trying to go about the daily routine. Your pictures show the beauty and the tribulations.

    Thank you, Yuri. I enjoyed these very much. I've been reading about your cold snap, it's great to actually see what it looks like. I can't believe the woman at the bus stop is wearing a dress in sub-zero weather! eek7.gif

    Beautiful Yuri....

    Well it's also nice to know that in Russia they spell DVD, CD, and MP3 the same as we do rolleyes1.gif

    The people at the bus stop in the last photo are great - I feel cold just looking at them.
