Moscow - Red Square

Moscow - Red Square
Originally uploaded by diamir8000 - back home

Red Square (Russian: Кра́сная пло́щадь, Krásnaya plóshchad’) is the most famous city square in Moscow, and arguably one of the most famous in the world. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitay-gorod. As major streets of Moscow radiate from here in all directions, being promoted to major highways outside the city, the Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow and of all Russia.

Moscow - Red Square

after a short trip to moscow - maybe some useful shots taken (unfortunately no tripod with me...)?

this shot was taken at appr. 10 pm during the first few drops of a massive thunderstorm coming in.

View from Red Square to the building that houses the historic museum. Kremlin and the Lenin mausoleum is on the left of my position.
