You know those days when all you want to do is unwind in a luxurious infinity pool overlooking the city, champagne in hand and not a care in the world? A popular social media page from the Siberian city of Omsk imagined just that.
Not finding an infinity pool in the vicinity of several thousand miles, the page turned to Photoshop to make the dream a reality, while issuing a veiled commentary on the visual landscape of industrial Russian cities.
Here's a look at infinity pools, Siberian style:
If you close your eyes, you can't hear the traffic.
On a clear day, you just might be able to see as far as the sea.
Here's where to go for the best view of the sunset.
Who knew your next getaway could be so close to home?
A sky-high view of Russian reality.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
