Day 26: Moscow

This picture was taken on October 5, 2012 in Moscow.  We were there for the weekend and of course we went to go see St. Basil's Cathedral.  I am not going to lie the first time I saw it I wasn't as impressed.  But then we went back at night and I was overwhelmed.  I was thinking now this is more like it.

Day 25: Uinta Wilderness

This picture was posted to facebook on August 9, 2011.  This is why you shouldn't hike mountains with shorts on.  If you do then your legs will get cut up like this.  I really liked these shoes.  They may be my favorite pair of shoes that I have ever had.  Sleek, slender and athletic.

Day 24: Kurgan

Both of these pictures were taken on April 13, 2010 when I was in Kurgan.  I guess I have a thing for graffiti.  Obviously the graffiti doesn't have to that impressive for me to take a picture.  But I liked them both.

What's up!?

Day 23: McCall

This picture was posted to facebook on March 18, 2012.  For Spring Break, I went with some friends and some new friends to McCall to go snowmobiling.  It was a lot of fun.  I am in the cabin here and it was really nice.  I really liked my coat because it kept me warm along with the helmet.  For the most part I was really warm.  We just rode around on snowmobiles for a couple days.  I had a lot of fun!  Thank you Mike Christensen!

Day 22: Peace Valley Scout Ranch

This picture was taken on May 22, 2012 in Colorado.  I went to a week long training camp called National Camping School in order to be qualified to be a rifle range director at Camp Frontier.  There were multiple parts of the training.  Some of the most enjoyable parts were when we went to the shotgun shooting range and did action shooting.  That is when two clay pigeons are flung and the clays go faster.  We shot a ton of clays on this day though.  On this day I also tried a huge variety of shotguns with different actions and different stocks.  It was lots of fun and educational.

Day 21: Saint Petersburg

This picture was taken on September 8th, 2012.  So since I am in Saint Petersburg I thought that I would add a cool picture from the pictures that I have taken.  Here we have спас на крови (Church on Spilt Blood).  It is such a cool looking cathedral.  Its design is new old-style Russian church because it is only about a hundred years old but looks like it should be 200 or 300 years old.  Similar to St Basil's cathedral in Moscow.

The church is actually on a canal and Sveta (the tour guide) talked about why that was significant.  Tsar Alexander II was assassinated here and his son build the church in memorial of his father

Day 20: Chelyabinsk

This picture was taken April 24, 2011 in Chelyabinsk, Russia.  Yesterday I posted a picture with graffiti and it made me think of this one because it has to be one of the coolest one I have ever seen.  It was huge! Plus it was very detailed and just wow!
