Europe Trip 2011 #26: Other sights from today

Walking around today there was a lot of "the same", at least in the sense that it is all starting to look rather familiar. One thing that did stick out however was the first photo. Last Wednesday, an aircraft carrying most of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey team crashed with the loss of 42 people [plus 2 survivors in intensive care]. The team was off to their first game of the season and is made up of players and staff from a number of countries [the coach was Canadian], including 3 players from the Czech Republic. Needless to say, this has been the main story on the news most of this week [for the aeronautical geeks among you, the plane was a Yakovlev Yak-42 tri-jet].

The second is a happier scenic shot towards one of the many bridges crossing the river, and the last is a funny shot of an English-language bookstore. The name of the store translates as Shakespeare and Sons. :-)
