Russia's HDR Moscow Kremlin


Centuries ago Moscow was white. There were magnificent white walls around the city with white towers in the corners. Nowadays the Moscow Kremlin is Red and the remains of the white city is buried under the ground. Sometimes during the excavations or construction works in Moscow downtown the remains of these white walls can be found.

Dense woods are cut through by numerous meandering streams and rivulets. Frighteningly high but absolutely beautiful waterfalls drop into deep gorges with a roar.
