Under the Spreading Mushroom Tree610 viewsA cute little dwarf mushroom tree nestles amongst the other greenery in the front yard. Actually, of course, I am lying and there is probably no such thing as a mushroom tree and if there is this isn't one. I forgot to ask our hosts what type of tree it really is.

Flames and Guns610 viewsThe sculptural adjuncts surrounding Lenin are supposed to represent flames and guns. The sculptor did not intend this portrayal to be adulatory, but rather critical - he created it at the height of perestroika, just before the collapse of Communism, at a time when such expressions had become permissible.
