Walking in a winter wonderland – Serebryanyy Bor

The weekend after we returned to Moscow we went to visit a colleague of Lou’s and his Family who live in a reidential area of a park in Moscow – Serebryanyy Bor.  By the time we were walking around the sun was dropping so there were some fantastic colours in the sky.

The park itself is on an island on the River Moscow to the west of the city, has a number of private residences, and a large number of small paths crossing through the forest.  It seems like a popular location with cross-country skiers, we even saw an older lady being pulled along on her skis by a huge Mastiff dog, which had our friends’ rideback puppy cowering when it pulled its master over to greet the pup.

Another interesting site on the park was that all the waterways were frozen over with thick ice, but a ‘swimming pool’ had been cut out of the ice, and as we were finishing looking around the area a guy was stripping off to go for a dip in the pool, madness!!
