Back in Moscow again, and as usual, I asked for a non-smoking Thisiswhatconstitutesaview
room with a decent view out the window.  Unfortunately, I wound up in a smoking room with this view out through first a scuffed plastic sheet and then a green net.  The net has been up since April, but I haven’t seen any work being done on the building.  There are all manner of concrete smears all over it, though. 

I actually kind of like this shot, although the feeling of being wrapped in plastic was making me claustrophobic.  It almost looks like I’m looking through an dirty aquarium at a very elaborate tropical fish castle.
