Gone to See Europe. Semester at Sea Spring 2013 Enrichment Voyage on the MV Explorer. Day 39: Moscow, Russia.
Walking to the Cathedral of Christ in Moscow. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera and 10-100 mm VR lens (ISO 180, 100 mm, f/5.6, 1/500 sec).
This was the closest I got to the Cathedral of Christ in Moscow. Ever since the Pussy Riot protest against Putin, cameras have been banned inside the church – even if off and inside a backpack. Thus, I didn’t go inside.

I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.
