Titanic Building and Shukhov Tower

 Here are two Moscow landmarks in my photography.

First, the Titanic Building, a massive residential building, built in the late 1980s according to the "City in a building" concept, incorporating utilities, shops and services, 400 meters long, 14 stories tall, with two-level apartments on the upper floors, also known as "Ship Building", "Bachelor Pad Building" and "Reclining Skyscraper".










And the world-famous Shukhov tower.



Under renovation now, and they have really messed it up and will probably do even worse. 

 

Whoever's responsible for that deserves to be shot on the spot.

Tverskaya to Red Square

Streets of Moscow -- a walk along Tverskaya Street on and almost to Red Square on the first day of the new 2015 year, in the evening.

Starting along Tverskaya Street which leads on to the Kremlin.


At the Central Post Office (with the screen), Red Square can already be seen in the distance.


What looks like a giant New Year Tree toy thronged by people, I don't find it very interesting.


Center is what used to be the Marxist History Museum.


Unfortunately the weather is nasty -- a major thaw, snow to slush everywhere, grey skies but it is warm for the season.
