Sparrow Hill





Sparrow Hill overlooks the city of Moscow. This is where Napoleon stood to say that he was here to conquer the city; it's also where he looked back as he retreated after he was defeated by the Russian forces and the Russian winter! There was another beautiful tree on Sparrow Hill set up by the souvenir stalls. I didn't buy anything here; I was waiting for the Ismailovo market.
The building in the background of the center picture is the main building of the University of Moscow.
