This is my first photo on this part of BPN. I am on assignment in Moscow, so I don't have many opportunities to take pictures of birds. So here is a city landscape. This is a beautiful place in Moscow; the Tsars used to put their unwanted wives here, so it acted as a kind of prison.

Hope you like it.

Lorant - Great shot of a beautiful building on the water and I love the rusty sky bokeh. I can't wait to see some of your bird images. Thanks.

Red Square is closed down at the moment. They are putting an ice skating rink there and some Christmas market I suppose. But if I can get some nice ones I will post one for sure. I miss the birds though...

Love the architecture brother! Hope you stay safe behind the red curtain. Are you there with Cirque?

Yes, Akos. First time here for the company, but other shows are coming in the future. People dig the show.

Yo brother! If you ever make it to Sydney, DO let me know! :) I haven't seen Cirque du Soleil since 2003. An awesome show too!

Gorgeous photo, when I read the bit about the wives imprisoned there, it gave me a jolt, too.
