The Best Russian Photographs Of 2012

The photo project “Best photographs of Russia” first started in 2008. Any Russian citizen has been able to take part in it no matter if he/she has been a professional photographer or not. But only photos taken on the territory of Russia have been accepted. Last year they chose a lot of winners: 294!  This is some of the best works in 2012. Enjoy!.....





















Have a nice day wherever you are

S&F love it

Great post, s&F. Wish some ofmrm had captions though. Anyone know what's going on in the first one? or the one with the tank?

Not sure whats going on with the tank. Maybe a jump start lol. As for the first one I suspect it could be this

The Epiphany, celebrated in Russia on January 19, marks the baptism of Jesus in the Orthodox Church. As elsewhere in the Orthodox world, the Russian Church conducts the rite of the Great Blessing of the Waters, also known as "the Great Sanctification of the Water" on that day (or the eve before). The priest-led procession could simply proceed to the font, but traditionally the worshipers would go to a nearby lake or river.

Or even just part of an typical outdoor baths
