«Neo-Gothic Castle "Swallow's Nest"»

View of the Swallow's Nest Castle (Lastochkino Gnezdo) from the top of Aurora cliff. It is one of the most recognizable symbols of the Crimean Peninsula. The beautiful decorative Neo-Gothic castle was constructed by design of the Russian architect Leonid Sherwood between 1911 and 1912 on money commissioned from the owner of this land, Baron von Steingel, a Baltic German noble who had made a fortune extracting oil in Baku, acquired the timber cottage and within a year had it replaced with the current building almost within a year.

Walking to the Main Pavilion of VDNKh in Twilight

This nice picture was taken on Sunday evening during Easter when we were walking on the grounds of VDNKh (All-Russia exhibition center). The weather was warm and pleasant during this church feast, and many people were walking in this famous park even though it was quite late.
