User_4525289 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 <p>Great pictures, George. My grandfather was graduated from the Kazan Civil Engeneering institute in 1938. Early morning on Volga is a masterpeace indeed. When did they build a mosque in the Kremlin, that is so funny. Did they reconstruct one Ivan the Terrible destroyed in 1556?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_the_waste Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 <p>It's always good to see beautiful things in places you've never imagined being or going to. Maybe one day if I hit the millions, I'll try and see some of it. Beautiful series. Thank you for posting. I hear my Zenit calling me for a workout.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_van_Nooij Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 <p>Beautiful Pictures George,</p> <p>Your color images of the architecture remind me a lot of the work of Prokudin-Gorskii from around the 1900s.</p> <p>Thank you very much for sharing,<br> Rick</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_daneliya Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 <p>Thank you, guys!</p> <p>To Kozma: The mosque was built in the very beginning of XXI century. Nothing really common with those destroyed by Ivan IV (well, some people want to belive it is reconstruction). It is built from reinforced concrete by Turkishs workers. Yeah, it's funny to see a huge mosque inside of traditional Russian Kremlin (built by Pskov masters) nearby with Orthodox cathedral :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
