The second of our three days in Moscow aboard the Viking Surkov was a day of free time. I chose to stay on the ship, to use my computer and get a bit of rest, while my husband decided to find the nearest subway station and go into the city to visit a couple of museums.

Even though the weather was cloudy and sometimes drizzly, with an occasional hint of blue, he enjoyed his trip via Moscow's renowned subway system to the Polytechnic Museum and the Aerospace Museum.

SKY-SEEKERS
The sky-seekers, some people say,
Do not favor night over day;
They always look up,
The sky is their cup,
And keeping it full is just play!

I really want to know Moscow. In the first picture, I enjoyed the detail of the bird.
I will follow your blog, ok?
greetings
Your husband is so brave! I love my adventures on the T in Boston and on the subway in New York, but I always need company to get me going there!
Great travel pictures .. memories to keep.
Fantastic pics, Kay! I should learn to look up too! Sometimes we take things too much for granted.

The sky looks pretty gray that day! But it's what's under it that counts on a trip like that.
Beautiful shots of the city.
Greys of the marble, stone and concrete against sad skies - great shots - you have visited some wonderful places this year Kay!
Great shots! What an amazing place!
what beautiful examples of the varied architecture of Moscow. I love the statue of the woman holding the ship over her head! I'd like seeing that every day. every single photo is wonderful with the backdrop of moody clouds. I've never seen a ferris wheel like that - it's unusual and beautiful. great shots all. happy day to you Kay.
He did good! A grey day, but it adds to the atmosphere.
He found a lot of interesting subjects against those cloudy skies.
Is that a missile or rocket at the tip of the building.
Spectacular photos, Kay, - congratulations to Dick.
I love the pomp and sheer enormity of these statues. Great pics!
Very interesting pictures ! Things I have never seen from Moscow what pity that the sky was grey !
Moscow! May be some day, till then I will be satisfied with these pictures. :)
The grey skies made a fine backdrop for some stunning silhouettes.
Thanks for the neat tour of Moscow. It does look like an interesting place to visit. Wonderful photos, happy skywatching!
