Moscow Landscape

• This is Church of Our Lady of Kazan at the north side of Red Square. Isn't its pink color just wonderful?

• The picture was taken inside the Kremlin ("fortress" in Russian). The cathedral with golden dome at the background is The Cathedral of Our Savior, just finished rebuilt in 1997. The original was destroyed by Stalin in 1930s.

• I stood outside the "Arbartskaya" metro station. As its name suggests, it's just outside of Arbart Ulitsa (Street). In Moscow, even the metro station looks more elegant!

• Another pictures taken in Moscow's Arbat District. This small church is situated where the Arbat and Novy (New) Arbat street meet. Most of the buildings on the Novy Arbat are huge apartment or commercial buildings, this church looks very out of the place.

• I stood across the street from the famous Bolshoi Theatre. It is also near the Red Square. It's not the season for any performnce that time (mid-September), so we didn't have chance to enjoy any show there.

• Mazhneh Square is located just north of Moscow Kremlin. It was just rennovated for Moscow's 850 anniversary. Now it hosts a large shopping center underground.You could have a peek of the (not-yet-open) shopping center from the glass pavillion, featuring a world map.
