Winter Wonderland

Snow blasted, dark all day, and amazingly inhospitable - winter in the Kola peninsula, a photoset at the BBC, for some reason. Reminiscent in places of Bee Flowers' staggering microrayon panoramas, and reminding me of a Bolshevik leaflet I have that was dropped on English soldiers during the Russian Civil War, entitled 'Why have you come to Murmansk?' A question I imagine gets asked often by these people, at least those not working on the nuclear submarines. Ta to the invaluable Kiri for the link.
