At the second half of Dec, it is very short day light in Moscow (the shortest day light is on 22nd on December) and starting dark very early. When started dark and they turned on all illumination of the buildings and fountains on this echibition I was really impressed how different looks architecture at night. I found some surface to put my camera and slow down vibration to get more clear picture...
