Photo Essay-Part 3

I am entitling this portion of my photo essay "Ironworks." You see, I love bridges, statues, and have a strange affinity for lampposts. So here are some things made out of metal. :-)


This is the footbridge leading to Christ our Savior Cathedral. If you look closely you can see the hundreds of padlocks left there by newly-weds.


The same bridge and cathedral.


This is more a photo of one of the Kremlin towers than it is a bridge, but I used the ironworks of the bridge to frame the shot.


Another Soviet design carved wrought into the frame of this bridge which crosses the Moscow River and provides an excellent view of the Kremlin.


A statue of three horses located in the Alexander Park adjoining the Kremlin grounds.


I loved this lamppost, especially with the new snow topping it off.


One of the many lampposts on the grounds of Christ our Savior Cathedral.

This mini-statue depicting the the cathedral is in between each of the lamps on the post.


More lampposts at the cathedral.


This bronze relief nativity is one of many relief statues on the outside walls of the cathedral.
