Autumnal Fishing by Andrei Nikolaevich
Moonlight Reflections - Migirdic Givanian
Sunset by Mikhail Markianovitch

WOW, stunning pictures
All the pictures are beautiful but the last one is truly gorgeous, especially when looked at in connection with the Pushkin excerpt. Almost makes me wish for snow.. (but I think I'd rather have the painting!;) xx
