View on the Kremlin Towers

View on the Kremlin Towers

Here is a view on the towers and famous Cathedral of Christ the Savoir from the Kremlin. I took this photo in autumn 2005 nearby the Grand Kremlin Palace, several steps from the Annunciation Cathedral.

You can see here that the Kremlin, as stronghold of Moscow city, is located on a hill (named Borovitsky) and on the bank of Moskva-Reka (Moscow-River) following all rules from medieval times about good locations for fortresses. So, here you can see how city looks nowadays not so far from the Cathedral's Square where Moscow was founded at 1147.

I like this view and composition...If you glance on it more thoughtfully, it is not doubt, that you can find 3 (three) symbols from different epochs here: star, cross and.. symbol of Mercedes.. :). By the way, the symbol of Mercedes is placed on the roof of a very famous building "House on Embankment", which is also well-known from the novel "Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov...

I used arthur as my guide and driver for 5 days during october 2007 - I can't say enough about him. He is punctual,and knowledgable and would take me anywhere I wanted to go. And even though we did not have optimal weather conditions,we still got to see more in 5 days than most people see in a week. I would not hesitate to recommend arthur for anyone looking for a driver and guide in Moscow - and expecially as a driver,in a city where driving can be hazardous to your health. Arthur was a fantastic guide and I hope to use him again on my next trip to Moscow.
