THE BEAUTY OF RUSSIA

Crystal Island Moscow

Moscow’s rapidly growing skyline will soon feature an eye-popping new addition: Christal Island,  which will be the world’s biggest building when completed. Sir Norman Foster’s mountainous 27 million square feet spiraling “city within a building” will cost $4 billion and it is scheduled to be built within next 5 years.

Hi Georgios,

Your forum is so very nice and relating.  I love your music.  I just decided we need to name you Mr Music.  What do you think about that?
Hugs,
Myrna

Hi Georgios,

Your 'Beauty of Russia' post is extraodinary!  Talk about a massive lesson in history and culture.  It took me down the rabbit hole into never never land.  Of course that all started with the beautiful music of "What Child is This," or "Greensleeves."  My most favorite song in the world!

First I found an aerial view of the Crystal City.  Talk about depicting the crystal cities of the future.  Wow!

Second, I absolutely adore the Characters of Russian Folklore and clicked on the authors page.  It is a goldmine and so very beautiful.  I have a good friend who since the day I met her informed me her nickname is the Frog Princess.  Never did I dream of finding the real picture, nor that it's origin was from Russian folklore.  Pretty awesome!  Smiley

Thank you for being such an INSPIRATION!

Bless you,   Jill
