It looks especially odd if being watched in summer. This is not some special winter resort but just a park framed by a residential area, just a hundred steps away from houses. This is typical Moscow winter - and it lasts for 5 consecutive months. Every year. What is ironic, is that summers can be really hot in Moscow, too, with temperatures reaching 30 and even 35 centigrade. It's typical continental climate - by the way, a term introduced by a Russo-German climatologist Vladimir Koeppen in 1900.
