When we went ashore from the Viking Surkov to visit the city of Yaroslavl in August, I realized I had forgotten to wear a hat. Fortunately, our first stop was at a public market, where I found just what I was looking for—a shady, air-conditioned chapeau. Our next stop was near this fountain, where I could rest in cool comfort while my intrepid photographer wandered off with his camera.

Yaroslavl is a perfect Russian city for Watery Wednesday, located as it is at the confluence of two of its rivers: the mighty River Volga, left, and the Kotorosl River, right. The oldest settlement at this site is Neolithic, making Yaroslavl the oldest of all the currently existing towns on the Volga.

Good hat for touring, light and airy. The history of Europe is so vast. I was a history major, but stuck with the US and Mexico. - Margy

I think the hat suits you very well ! Beautiful pictures !
There is so much history in the world to soak up. Thanks for history lesson. It is an amazingly old place and beautiful too. handy to have a market with a hat. It looks cool (pun intended)
I love your photos! Happy holidays!
I love your hat! I love the photos.
Happy travels.
We have no water. Our ponds are frozen, quite, although we expect freezing rain today. Sigh.
Cheers from Cottage Country!
I like your hat too and the photos. Thanks for sharing these. :-)
The more pictures I see from Russia the more fascinating it becomes. I have always thought of it as being a dark and dreary country, but through the photoblogging, I have found it to be beautiful with so many historical pieces of architecture to view. genie
I like this kind of fountain. In Singapore, tey used to have a muscial fountain in Sentosa.
Before I even read your narrative about the hat I was going to comment how great it looks on you!
