here here, I think a trip to Russia is looking very likely in 2008.
The problem is accomodation, that city is not exactly a holiday resort.


What problem?!?! Bing a tent! ;)

I'm not sure I'd feel safe with all the equipment doing that.
Be glad its not on in the winter, it gets very cold there.

Carrying around my 20" obsession is going to kill me,
but what a way to go. :)

I had a quick glance in the Lonely Planet "Russia and Belarus" guide in Amsterdam Airport and there's Irish bars in Novosiberisk . . . that'll do me :D :D :D

this wide angle shot I took with my Casio QV-4000 (missing lens element makes it ~F1.4 semi fisheye instead of a F2 zoom),


Super photo!
