Query: recent photos of Vyra?

Body
And speaking of the Nabokov family in Russia, does anyone have any fairly
recent photographs of the renovation of the family estate at Vyra? I found
some nice pictures on the internet a few years ago, but was wondering if
anyone has been there in the last while and made any pictures. It's a
beautiful place in a beautiful landscape, pretty much exactly the way I'd
imagined it from Nabokov's descriptions in _Speak, Memory_, although the
light is much more "northern" looking than I'd thought it would be. If this
L-SERV site can't accomodate color photos, I'd appreciate receiving them at
this email address directly. Thanks.
