Those day, in the middle of October, I was walking with Daryl (my client from Australia) around the Red Square and we decided to go inside the St. Basil. While we discovered the chapels inside of St. Basil's Cathedral, it started rain and also something happened on the Red Square - it was almost empty and several police cars blocked the square from different sides. Also it were a lot of regular policemen which asked people to leave this area. The people who were in this cathedral could leave it only from the right side, walking around the building, but not to cross the square. Even I had a picture with this view on the Red Square from St. Basil's Cathedral before, but I decided to make several shots.. and liked two photos very much which were taken with interval about half minute from different angles: The Red Square from St. Basil's #2.
Details in brief:
Left:
Nicely decorated porch of St. Basil's Cathedral, a tower of the State Historical Museum.
Middle:
The monument to the Kozma Minin and Prince Dmitri Pozharsky
Right:
Lobnoye Mesto and long building of famous department store GUM, behind the building you can see a crane - this is reconstruction of hotel "Moskva" (Moscow), and behind it (if you can distinguish) you can see grey building which houses the Russian Parliament we call "Duma".
