[Leica] Trans-Siberian Express

[Tina Manley]

In Moscow, in January, the sunrise is at 9:00 AM and the sunset is at 4:00
PM.  That's a pretty short day to me.  If we went in the summer, it would
be 3:00 AM and 10:00 PM - about 12 more hours of sunshine!  But there would
also be lots of tourists and the need to reserve everything in advance -
and no snow.  I would rather go in the winter, except for the dark.
