Moscow Album



There's nowhere like Moscow.....  or Russia for that matter... its more than just a story about Stalin, communism or dictatorship ..
There's more beneath.. a week there.. i felt that there's so much richness in its culture, there's pride in their nation, there's kindness in its people and sophistication in its literature..
Even after years.. I can still remember the feeling of its breezy air, magnificent arts, colorful buildings, intriguing vibrant and fascinating history.... surrounded by a new movement of modernity
Russia.. I'll be back.... one day... i'll be back...!!!!





Up in the air approaching Moscow greeted by Sunrise






At the Domodedovo airport picked up by our tour guide




First spot, sparrow hill.. to see the view of the city




war memorial park








First glimpse of the city










Love the tree










My husband by the river






I found this duck statue kind of cute











The thing about travelling on Autum... the leaves are gorgeous














Beautiful church.. look at the details










Statues statues and statues... with bold bold colors










Stralling down the bridge was awesome










Was taken by this lady.. and the leaves flying around her








buildings in moscow












Catching my breath when entering the red square for the first time!!!










Red square and my husband... superb!!!










Russian Museum








Kremlin from Red square...










The famous St Basil cathedral














CANT GET ENOUGH OF ST BASIL.. It just awesomely beautiful










McDonald and Karl Marx.... go figure.. =)










In front of red square in the early morning






At the red square








Still at the red square






At the red square








Stunned by this orange striking building..






And again.. stunned by this shocking pink church








Even in the train station you can enjoy the art








The train station and the famous statues






At the train station






Approaching Ismaelovsky park








People at the ismaelovsky park








The gorgeous art at the train station








Another art at the train station








The train station... its like entering a museum






And.. its another train station... look at the detail of the mozaik






From one train station to another train station, riding a very steep and long escalator






People at the old arbat street






The view of old arbat street










St Basil and Russin Museum at night








Red square at night








The stair at the park at the red square








Entering Kremlin






The outside view of Kremlin






The cathedral at the Kremlin






Trees and leaves inside Kremlin






Russia is also about bold and big... the biggest bell in the world










The biggest canon ....






line of canon at the kremlin





Love the color of the dome








The mysterious Kremlin






Exiting Kremlin... still dont wanna leave








Upper side: Stalingrad, Lower side: Leningrad






Changing guard at alexander park








The guard at the tomb of unknown soldier








Love this church.... so strikingly colorful






 golden leaves in front of GUM department store at the red square.. this is our last night in Moscow






The last morning at our hotel in Moscow.. really sad to leave






Last breakfast... catching moscow morning life from the coffee shop








Our last day we ride a bus to war museum








My hubby with the status of Stalin, Zukov and Comunist party flag, at the war museum






The lamps up in the roof was representing the tears of the victim of war



Beautiful diorama dispay... and sad at the same time for the story depicted



Line of names of the war victim



Great war photographs



Still at the war museum.. to the display of weaponry outside




I like the way they display the tank....



 
Our very last spot of the war museum...


 


After our last supper in Moscow... took a red train to St Petersburg..
I said to my self... Moscow... I'll be back.. Im not done with you yet.....
