This is VR spherical panorama exposed during 4000 seconds at night, on the 4000 meters height on a hill of the highest mountain of Europe, mt. Elbrus.
Within one hour Earth spin 1/24 of the Star Dome, and fixed camera captures trails of stars and Moon rising above horizon.
It was a night after long day of snowboard shooting in snow park. And me with a friend decided to stay that night on a glacier to make a night experimental shooting. While camera was exposing the Star Dome with Moon we had a chance to get a dinner and rest before other night adventures =)
The technics of the shot: tripod + 8mm lens, f9, iso 100, one shot to sky shutter speed 3300 sec, 4 shots around with iso400 and shutter speed 60 sec

Just in case you mistakenly heard that it was all ice and snow in Russia, take a peek at the Big Bikini Exposition. This is right on the river Moskva in Moscow!
Moscow has been the capital of Russia for almost its entire history. The exception is during the period of the Russian Empire, which lasted from 1721 until the Russian Revolution 1917. For these two centuries the capital was St. Petersburg. The Russian Empire was the second largest contiguous Empire in world memory; only the Mongol Empire had been greater.

Although you may not have heard of Sochi, on the Black Sea, they're building up quickly and hope to host the 2014 Olympics.
Other periods of Russian history include the Tsardom of Russia, from Ivan IV to Peter the Great, and the Grand Duchy (14th-16th centuries).
The earliest period of Russian history was ruled by the Novgorod Republic and Kievan Rus, which was the first Russian state dating back to 800AD in Kiev.
Modern Russia remains one of the world's superpowers. They launched the earth's second satellite, called Sputnik 1, and were the first country to put a human being into orbit around earth. (The first one is called the Moon.)
After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia became a federal republic of 83 states.
