Winter Tale At The Red Square Of Moscow

To the fore: The "Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan", that is a Russian Orthodox church located on the northeast corner of Red Square in Moscow, Russia. The current building is a reconstruction of the original church, which was destroyed at the direction of then General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, in 1936.
In the background: The State Historical Museum, that is a museum of Russian history wedged between Red Square and Manege Square in Moscow. Its exhibitions range from relics of prehistoric tribes that lived on the territory of present-day Russia, through priceless artworks acquired by members of the Romanov dynasty. The total number of objects in the museum's collection comes to millions.

Kremlin Embankment In Winter

So, another picture of Moscow Kremlin. This is NOT a panorama, I took the shot with 24-70mm lens, using 24mm, f/11, 1,6 s.
Th the fore you see Vodovzvodnaya (Water pumping) tower of the Kremlin, topped with the ruby star. The Kremlin embankment is by your left hand, the Sophya embankment is by your right hand. Grand Kremlin Palace is located on top of the Kremlin hill. If you draw a straigt line from the center of the palace to the Sophya embankment...
- How do you do, gentlemen, you are welcome to the United Kingdom embassy to Russia. 
So, British see the view 24 hours a day. :-)
