The Octahedron at Tsaritsino

(The Octahedron isn't crooked, my husband was when he took this picture!!)

As you walk through the woods, it is somewhat surprising to come upon an Artificial Ruin, Nerastankino, and the Temple of Ceres. The Belvedere, temple, and Nerastankino were built by Yegotov in 1803 when there was a brief revival of interest in Tsaritsino, and when you come on these follies by surprise when walking, it is like finding a treasure in the woods!
