Kostroma, Russia, in the rain, 9 July 2007
Even the large hand of this statue in a Kostroma park can't shelter Ron from the rain.
Andrei and Timothy try to imitate the statue of a firefighter and rescued child -- but Timothy is just too big!
Kostroma's merchants' quarters, built in the 18th century to replace wooden structures that burned, are still in use as shops today.
Banyas (similar to saunas) in the outdoor Museum of Wooden Architecture. Such building were often situated away from other buildings and near a water source because of the danger of fire.
Wooden house for a well-to-do family in the Museum of Wooden Architecture.
One of the many embriodered "paintings" in the fabric artist's studio we visited.
In the fabric artist's studio. Reflected in the mirror: Kira (seated) Andrei, and, in the background, Vladimir and the artist. The artist also designed clothes, and some of her creations are hanging on the rack.
Dripping rain jackets and helmets on the studio coat stand.
