Late autumn in Moscow. No visitors in park. Only wedding Photographer and frozen white brides.
Photo: The Grotto.
The grotto was constructed between 1755 and 1761 by the architect F. Afgounov, and was intended to represent the palace of the King of the Seas. It was placed next to a large pond, which reflected its imposing facade and dome. Inside rows of niches were filled with statues of Venus, Diana, Ceres, Flore, Juno and Jupiter. The windows were covered with iron grills forged by serf artisans look like strands of seaweed. The interior space, under dome, is meant to be the throne room of Neptune, crusted with seashells (1771-1775.) The grotto is one of the few 18th century grottos still preserving its original decoration.

From 8 to 11 October at the VVC goes «Agrotech» – the largest international exhibition of agricultural machinery in Russia. It has dozens of various combines, tractors, mowers, plows and grain dryers. As in Soviet times. Feeling incredibly great.
