From Russia with Pix

• Sergey Maximishin takes viewers on a slightly freaky tour of the big country. (I dig the composition of these flying fish.) [Via]
• Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii documented Russia in color a hundred years ago (!).
• You call that a nesting doll? This is a nesting doll. Note the man providing scale. (More images from Mongolia & the Russian border are on The Big Image.)
• I don’t miss winters in Illinois, Boston, or NY–and those are a walk in the park compared to snowfall like this. [Via]
