Russian Apocalypse

This picture is made by russian artist Vladimir Manyukhin from a series of four, showing the seasons at the Kremlin after an apocalypse. I like the detailing, and since I've always had a soft spot for doomsday visions, this stuff is right up my alley. It does seem a bit ... naïve though in it's picturing ruins and destruction so pretty (Go google pictures from the Chernobyl region, to get a real picture of what the world will look like after we're gone, as the paint peals off the facades and the railings rusts to pieces)...

Still I picked the picture I liked the best, and do check out his russian visions of the day after tomorrow here: http://kasjundra.livejournal.com/275527.html
