Submarine Ride, Anyone?

Can you spot the surprising detail in this photograph taken at a Russian beach? While you might expect the answer to be the giant UB-40 submarine visible in the background, that’s not what we’re talking about. Rather, what’s truly shocking about this image is the presence of actual sunshine!

Despite being known as a “two-season country,” Russia does experience warm weather during the summer months, with some regions reaching an impressive 113.7ºF – perfect weather for a day at the beach. It seems even the wartime-submarine crew couldn’t resist the allure of the sun and sand, taking a well-deserved break from their duties to soak up some rays.
