Spring in the City

Let me take you to a short walk from inside the Kremlin to the streets and views around it.
The pillars are portraits and stories of prominent artists - painters, musicians, singers, composer, writer, poets, playwright, actors & actresses who served and one of those considered heroes in the WWII. The posts are dedicated to commemorate them in connection with the Victory day celebration.
Outside Kremlin is the statue of Musa Dzalil who was a poet and a resistance fighter against fascists. He was caught and beheaded. 
Starting spring the carriage that goes around the Kremlin is now out ready for tourists.
The Kremlovskaya street is just across the gate of Kremlin. It goes down to the Kazan Federal University.
Standing on the Kremlin grounds you will see a view of the main roads where all public transports passes by to get to another point. 
Although the day was partly cloudy, the sky was still beautiful especially at the end of the day. A grand flock of birds flew by above me - it was wonderful!
After a bit of showers, I still manage to see the sunset. I was a bit late to catch the huge sun in its way down but I  was still lucky to witness the sky changed from day to evening.
Some of you might be already familiar with this dragon. It is the same dragon I've posted in winter. It is the symbol of the city located just outside and below the Kremlin wall.

  21. Wow - Kremil! I have never seen photos of Kremlin before, but I have seen some photos of the Central Railway Station in Moscow.
    Your photos are very beautiful and I like the straight roads, like the spokes of a bicycle.
    Glad I stopped by!
    Have a Beautiful Day!!
    Peace :)

  23. The dragon looks even more amazing against the sunset. Beautiful skies and so interesting to learn about a place that seems so incredibly exotic to me (a child of the Cold War. I would never have dreamed I could be learning what it is like to live in Moscow.).

  24. Dearest Mari,
    What a lovely post and such great pictures with special light on the buildings. The sunset is incredible too.
    Loved the long but very interesting story about Musa Dzalil; but what a tragic ending and so young...
    Sending you hugs from Georgia/USA.

  33. Why is a dragon the symbol of the city? Does it signify strength?
