The Photo Gallery: Red

This post is for Wk 134 of The Gallery over at Sticky Fingers (click here to see the other entries) and the prompt for this week is 'Red'.

A few days ago I wrote about living as an expat and not taking your children 'off-reservation' often enough.  This photo is proof that we do - occasionally - get around to it.  It was taken on the banks of  Lake Nero at Rostov Velikiy, a town about 5 hours drive north east of Moscow and which is one of the 'Golden Ring' cities.  Well worth checking out if you are planning to venture further than Red Square (which, I have to admit, was my first go-to instinct when looking through my folders for photos suitable for this week's submission).

    I love it - it looks so atmospheric, it makes me think Bulgakov and Tolstoy and all things highly literate.
