An American Photographer and Writer in Russia

Photographer David Hillegas and writer Lisa Dickey are creating for the Washington Post and WashingtonPost.com a photo-journal of their 11 week westward trip across Russia from Vladivostok to Saint Peterburg (Petersburg) via Khabarovsk, Birobidzhan, Chita, Ude, Ulan, Irkutsk, Novobirsk, Chelyabinsk, and Moscow. Their journey began September 1.

I was struck by this photo of the Khabarovsk Amur River embankment.













"The walkway down to Khabarovsk's Amur River embankment reflects the order and cleanliness found in the city."
