6th #Ulog: What A Beautiful Winter!steemCreated with Sketch.

Hello my fellow Steemians and Uloggers!



This is my 6th #Ulog and I want to share with you how I spent the weekend. Actually, I will tell you what I did yesterday, on Sunday.

So, let me start ... On Sunday I slept until 10 a.m. I was a bit tired, because last week, during the work days, I'd been overloaded with work , so I decided to sleep a bit more. He-he. But, in the afternoon I went out to have a walk. In the picture below you can see the area I live in:

It is already Winter in Moscow, Russia! So, we have snow almost everywhere, but it was not very cold yestereday. During the day it was between -6 and -10 degrees celsius.

Ok, let me show you ne more pic of the area I live in:

Of course I went to the park that is located close to the place I live in:
IMG_20181202_154844.jpg

Actually, it is not exactly a park. It is a park adjacent to a small forest:

In the picture above you can see that the lake is frozen and covered by snow. So, it looks like a field covered by snow.

One more pic of the frozne lake:

But, there is another lake, and part of it was not frozen (I don't know why). And there were ducks swimming in it:

Later, I went to the forest. There is a stable in the forest. I like it! I like horses, but I am a bit afraid of them, because they are very big...Anyway! So, when I went to the stable I saw some ladies that were horseriding:

One more picture of the stable (I like the horses):
IMG_20181202_160541.jpg

After having visited the stable, I went to Ostankino park, that is adjacent to the forest. You can see in the picture below the Ostankino tower and another frozen lake in front of it:
IMG_20181202_161228.jpg

It was almost 4:10 p.m. at that time (I mean when I went to the Ostankino park):
IMG_20181202_161318.jpg
Yeah, the day is very short here, in Moscow, during the winter. Usually in December at 4:30 p.m. it is already dark, and the night starts. And, as I said earlier I am from Bulgaria (a small country in Southern Europe), but, at the momentm, I live and work in Moscow, Russia. So, I really miss the sunlight. To be honest, I am not afraid of the cold, even if it is -30 degrees by celsius. But, lack of sun make me a bit depressive during the winter time.

Ok, let me continue my story... So, I went to the park. It turned out that there was a dance floor in it:
IMG_20181202_161907.jpg

And, at the Dance Floor, there were people in their 60s, or 70s, or 80s, who were dancing:
IMG_20181202_161828.jpg
Probably, if you dance you don't feel the cold.

Ok, I decided to continue my journey through the park. To be honest Winter is also very beautiful! There were so many wooden coffee shops/houses in the park. You can get a hot tea or a coffee. Or even buy some snacks:

Later I went to the metro station. A fellow Steemian had called me on the phone, and we had decided to meet in the city center. So, I went to the city center and met him at Turgenevskaya Station. There is a very nice theater there:
IMG_20181202_170946.jpg

Close to the theater, there is a very nice Chinese restaurant in Myasnitskaya Street :
IMG_20181202_171211.jpg

Ant this is Myasnitskaya Street:
IMG_20181202_171304.jpg

Wa walked down the Myasnitskaya Street:
IMG_20181202_171318.jpg

There is a Burger King in this street. I like burgers! So, we went to IMG_20181202_172603.jpgBurger King:

I orderd a whopper and french fries:
IMG_20181202_173313.jpg

After having eaten the meal, I was much happier :):
IMG_20181202_173418.jpg

So, after having visited the Burger King, we decided to go to the Red Square:
IMG_20181202_181740.jpg

There was a big Christmas tree in the Red Square:
IMG_20181202_181802.jpg

And, of course, in the Red Square there was/is A BIG ICE RINK!!! Yahoo!:
IMG_20181202_181827.jpg

I like the ICE RINK:
IMG_20181202_181900.jpg

Please, let me show you one more pic of the ICE RINK! I do like it!

Ok, after having visited the Red Square we went to Auchan in Tverskaya Street. Auchan is a french international retail group that has many food stores all over Europe:
IMG_20181202_183815.jpg

I like candies and chocolate, and so on:
IMG_20181202_183957.jpg

So, I got some candies and went to the cashier to pay for it:

Later, we walked down the Tverskaya Street. There are massive Soviet-era buildings on it:
IMG_20181202_184705.jpg

Of course, in the evening it was getting slowly colder and colder and we decided to go home. So we went to the metro station. On the way to the metro station I took a picture of a chapel built almost 400 years ago. That chapel was built in 1620:
IMG_20181202_191320.jpg

So, a bit later we got to the metro station. Some of the metro stations are very old. That is the escalator in the station:
IMG_20181202_195505.jpg

This is the train platform:
IMG_20181202_200138.jpg

And, this is me, waiting for the train on the platform:

Ok, in almost 30 minutes I was already close to my home. This is again the area I live in. It is exactly the same place where from my journey started in the afternoon:

That's it for today!

Great #ulog! Thanks to your ulogging+actifitting many people are getting familiar with Moscow. Keep it up.
The shots from Red Square are awesome!

I enjoyed this ! Great pictures. I'm glad to see you eating and enjoying candies ... how many steps through all these parks, I wonder?

@shanibeer, thank you for stopping by! Yeah, I do like candies, chocolate, etc. My russian colleagues at work call me «sladkoezhka»(sweet tooth, оr a person who likes to eat a lot of candies) :).
I did over 17 K steps yesterday. I walked for almost 4 or 5 hours.
