St. Basil's Cathedral on the Red Square looks gorgeous in any season, at any weather. No doubt that you already have seen many pictures of this famous cathedral in Moscow, Russia, and, from my side, I have already posted many pretty interesting pictures on my website and TrekEarth, where I told about it history too.

So that, today I am going just to show you this picture which I took recently 5 days ago on the Red Square nearby the building of GUM during the Moscow By Night tour with my client from Boston, USA. Here you can see that all the trees along the building of GUM and Red Square, from the left side of this photo, decorated for upcoming winter holidays with many garlands making this place more festive with the stunning architecture of St. Basil's, Kremlin Towers, GUM and State Historical museum, all the buildings which surround the famous square. I thnk that it is also the timing photo and hope you like it!
From the left side of St. Basil's Cathedral, behind the trees, you can see a highlighted building covered for reconstruction. Here will be soon the most expensive hotel in World located directly on the Red Square, just imagine - your windows in front of St. Basil's! :-)

PS: Merry Christmas!!!

Привет, Артур!
Спасибо за хорошее представление новогодней Москвы! Цвета отменные, и точка зрения - тоже. А вот, можно было бы, вместо тех 120к, оставить 200к...
Желаю приятно встретить праздники и еще приятнее провезти весь наступающий год!

Hi Arthur,
You have captured this world famous building very beautifully. I hope that they will preserve the old charm of the old buildings of Moscow during construction of new! My sister and brother-in-Law studied in Moscow in the 70s and they have many pictures of Moscow from that time. It is interesting to see your pictures as they bring back memories of the old ones that I have seen. Cheers.
