This shot shows our translator, Galina, who has worked with us for years. The Russians love trees and hugging them for health reasons. Here I caught Galina having a quick hug before lunch to recharge her energy.
I am a freelance blog glamour puss, and specialist in international relations, who flies around the world to take photos that will hopefully entertain my public. In between, I do a bit of land law consulting, just to keep my friends and the tax authorities thinking that I have a real job.
