April 10: Patrish Pond


April 10: Partish Purdy
Patriarch Pond (Патриаршие пруды ), located near the central of Moscow, is a popular destination for both tourist and locals.   The area is consists of a pond, playground for children, walking path around the pound, and some sculptures dedicated to Russian fables.  However, the pond is most famous for being the opening location for the famed Russian novel "The Master and Margarita". 
The pond freezes solid in the winter allowing people the pleasure of ice skating on it.  No swimming is allowed in the pond during the summertime, but you will see people fishing from the banks.
These pictures were taken from opposite corners of the pond.  The yellow building located on the pond is now a restaurant.
