Russian paratroopers celebrate the end of World War 2 in Moscow
While I was in Moscow a large group of Russian paratroopers were celebrating the 60th anniversary of the end of World War 2. Here are some street photographs showing the celebrations, which included flag waving, a spot of flirting and a lot of drinking.

Thanks – I think sketching when I’m travelling is possibly my favourite thing ever 🙂
