Last Shot of the Kremlin

We finished the Kremlin tour in the late afternoon. As we waited for our tour bus to drive around an pick us up I had this wonderful view of a 19th century palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived when they were in Moscow leading down to one of the Kremlin towers with the Soviet star still on top. I thought it was a wonderful contrast of history as well as of light and shadows. As far as photographic quality goes this is my favorite picture of the whole trip; I have it set as my wallpaper on my computer at work.
