Day 103, May 18, Happiness in stone

So many times I have been around that building but never approached it closer enough to these Soviet times sculptures. Amazing stuff!

Так много раз бывал вблизи высотки на Котельнической набережной, но никогда не приближался к ней достаточно близко, что бы разглядеть это множество скульптур советских времен. Поразительная работа! Рассматривал это счастье вырубленное в камне с большим интересом!

  1. Beautiful detailing. I love how you captured the bird about to land in that first image.. and the perspective of the last one.

  3. Wow!, That's an incredible building. I agree with Hilary on the perspective of that last shot, and Sandra's comment about the bird.

    It looks like there are lights on the building as well. Are the lights turned on at night? If they are, I bet the night time photography could also be interesting.

  5. Very nice close-up shots of the sculptures. I want to get down there in the early morning to get some shots of the morning sun on the stone.
