"Winter is the soul of Russia"

I thank Sandra G., a banker, and Donald ....., an architect, both from San-Francisco, for helping me formulate the idea.

Let others try to combat the low season by offering better deals, or just closing their offices and flying to Turkey or Egypt, the local equivalent of Mexico and Cuba.  I will endeavour to make Russian winter itself into a marketable product.

Thus this page. It is here to convince you that the "true" character of the land comes out when days are short and snow is everywhere.

Check out www.russian-horse-rides.com for more photos of Russian countryside in the winter.

"Touring Russia in winter has enormous rewards. Imagine being in a room with twenty Matisses...and you're the only person there!"

Disclaimer & a glance into my methods:
I'm a cheater of the worse sort. I deceive not by straight-forward lying but by giving technically true information that is almost certain to result in an impression that is the exact opposite of reality. Here, in the Russian winter series of photos, I deliberately aimed to generate that warm and cozy feeling. Don't say you haven't been warned. Take two pairs of footwear and LOTS of thick socks.
