Hi Ekaterina .... it's not the fault of the Russian people.  Right-minded people know that the blame lies fairly and squarely on Putin.  I've just read of 2 more yachts being seized in the port of Imperia.  One of them belonged to Alexey Mordashov who was the richest man in Russia until last week when his assets and bank accounts were frozen. There will soon be a posse of newly poor men who will be baying for Putin's blood.

Lovely to hear from you.

Hello Ekaterina.   I'm fairly sure that we Americans are not blaming the Russian people for the debacle in Ukraine.  It is the work of one feral eyed maniac who is obsessed with power.  A truly wicked man.  

Sorry for posting twice, but it wasn't me! ☺️☺️

It's such a shame what people think of the Russian citizens, but they e not done anything bad, it's Putin and the people he sourounds himself with, not even the whole government is bad! 

We're nervously watching how the invasion happens, something so absurd in the 21st century!

My heart aches for the poor Ukrainian families! 

What do you think Putin's daughters think of him?

They all will be marked forever by their father's action! And the granddaughter as well.

It will be like saying my dad or granddad was Hitler! 

All my love to everyone! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Moose ...... further to our conversation ....... this one????

OMG!!!!�� That's exactly what it looks like.��� :D

Ooooh... an old fashion lemon squeezer all lit up!

This looks much more like a portal than Nelly's does.

A Sunday Farmers's Market. �

I wonder what that building is.

This place always has nice snow sculptures.� It almost seems like the whole world is covered in snow at the moment, looking at all the Opentopia cameras.

I wonder if the tree will still be lit on the 22nd of January.

I love this tree.

I like this tree. I'm doing my usual look around to see the last few lights.

Hi NQ ..... yes .... it's looking very pretty now.� So ....... next year we could be waiting even longer for them to put the lights on.� :D

yes MD I remember that this is the Jan tree but each year they light it a little later then the year before.

and it's been lit and looking prettier then previous years :)

NQ ...... these are the "Christmas in January" people.

The tree hasn't been lit yet :(

Scrolling back through our comments I see it wasn't lit till Dec 27 last year and the year before it was lit Dec 23.

The tree is up :)

hopefully they'll light it tonight.
