I rarely sleep more than 4 hours, hence these long flight times.
Kicking off flying low over the forest at Yegoryevsk
National park Meschora, zooming over the trees
On to Moscow with (too) high expectations. It starts off great with Moscow State University
The Kremlin however looks out of place and the red square is flat
The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour does look wonderful
Yet what I was looking forward to most was St Basil’s Cathedral on the red square.
Still a very impressive city from the sky
Following the Volga river further to the North West
Flying over the locks (Rybinskiy Shlyuz) and Mother Volga at Rybinsk
Mother Volga where the Volga river flows into the Rybinsk Reservoir
Strange circle formation at Darvinskiy Gosudarstvennyy Prirodnyy Biosfernyy Zapovednik
Or Darwin nature reserve, Russians sure make long names for things!
Cherepovets
Turyshkino
Landing at Manushkino
St Petersburg, one of, if not, the most beautiful city in Europe.
It has a few issues
This city is awesome for virtual tourism. So many 360 degree street view points on all the roads, squares, water ways and even available inside many museums, for example the military historical museum, the winter palace and the central naval museum. I can lose hours ‘walking’ around St Petersburg.
Now following the Vuokai river
Sevastyanovskoe
Landing in Punkaharju, arrived in Finland
Flying low over the lakes near Kitee
Kuopio, famous for its ski jumps. I did spot the hill from the air but didn’t get a good shot, bugged hill in the way. (Not much to see anyway) The area in summer
Sunset at Suvatti
Getting dark at Kruunupyy
An uneventful night flight to Pori concludes this leg.
