Readers of my previous blog might remember my revelation that Nokia’s high-end camera phones — and specifically the N86 — had become good enough to replace my dedicated point-and-shoot while travelling abroad.

And on my trip to Moscow this month my N86 continued to impress. Here are a few samples of what it delivered:

Just another Moscow Metro Station.

Monument to Peter the Great, or a re-purposed statue of Christopher Columbus?

“Conquerors of Space” at the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics.

The imposing Ministry of Foreign Affairs, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters.

A friendly young Husky at the Ismailovsky Market.
