Love this! Talk about Local Color--a Spin on A Room of One's Own

Last week, I came across this picture essay on the BBC,  "Murmansk's Gorgeous Garages."   In Murmansk, an arctic Russian city, it has become a tradition for men to build garages to repair their cars, socialize, and get away.  Think of it as a "room of one's own" with a different spin.  "Many men in Murmansk love escaping to their garages, which are often built far away from the apartment blocks where they live."  Check out this wonderful & interesting photo essay by Jorn Madslien.
