Riding through town on Tram 39

On our "to do" list forever has been a long north-south tram ride on one of the city's last tram lines - #39. We picked it up in the middle of a heavy fluff (called pukh) storm at the Chistye Prudy metro stop. We ran around many familiar sites. The tram line is just high enough above the street level to see some fun things like the Darwin Museum and the Moscow River. Oh and is that a nuclear power plant near Leninsky Prospect Metro station, right across from the Buck Rogers-esq Yuri Gagarin statue?

Looks like four cooling towers to me, smack in the middle of the city. Ah Moscow!
