Reply to comment by HellaGoodJulia in Nothern rivers are so confusing these days. by HellaGoodJulia

So there was a Monastery outside Moscow, before Russia as we know it was an entity, and something like a thousand years ago, the monks in the Monastery made wine and grew grapes, and kept records, while they copied holy books and did other religious stuff.

So are you saying you have a pineapple growing on the banks of a river in northern Russia… today… or did the frost kill it two months ago?

St. Petersburg?

That was a pineapple I brought and put there, just because I could

So, you have a sense of humor…😂

So, which River, and where… with Google Earth, I can basically see all of the planet.

You could even post a Pineapple Panorama, and start a trend.

It's a tiny lake in the middle of nowhere, not sure I could define where it was. Not super far from Moscow anyway.

Great idea with the pineapple panorama, thank yougif

Do you have Google Earth? You could find your lake, if your directional skills are up to it, capture an image from the screen, and post that, or capture the latitude and longitude, and post that.

When you run out of important stuff to do, you can even tour the world, all with free software… Or you could stand in front of Lenin’s Tomb and stare across the square to “GUM”. 👋
