1 This is a public bus in Irkusk. Note the grill missing from the front - you can see it through the window on the inside of the bus.
2 This is the view of Irkutsk from the train. Most of the old houses are wooden and have ornate wooden decorations on the eves, windows and doorways.
3 This is a McDonalds in Moscow. I just like the cyrlic characters.
4 Pretty picture of a stream in a village on the shore of lake Baikal.
5 In Ex-Soviet countries they don't mess around with lowering a flimsy boom over railway crossings - they just raise up a couple of steel things to stop you crossing. Much more effective.
6 Sunset from the Trans-Siberian train.
7 This is the view from the palace at Petrodvorets, near St Petersburg.
8 This was taken from about halfway along the length of the train.
9 This is one of the places the train stopped for a few minutes in Siberia. I took pictures as I don't think I have ever seen anywhere that was as desolate as this place.
