Parade rehearsal 2018

A few days before the May 9 parade, it's rehearsal is being held.

Accidentally, this year again I managed to take photos of the air parade rehearsal.

I didn't even plan this shoot. I have been at a photo walk,  and I found myself in a small square, when helicopters and airplanes started to fly over me, heading to the Red Square.

Traditionally, planes fly over the whole city, which makes it possible to see them almost from anywhere in Moscow.

Architectural Model of Moscow

Image
A few days ago I have visited the Pavilion of the Architectural Model of Moscow , located at VDNH . This pavilion can be visited absolutely free of charge - admission is free. The model has 368 square meters area, is a model of the city center, inside the Garden Ring and partly beyond, which includes more than 20 thousand buildings and structures in 1:400 scale, created with absolute precision. The model is curious for its realism: in due time, the Spassky Tower beats chimes, all bas-reliefs on buildings are recreated with precision. All models of buildings are placed on a real urban basis: each hill or lowland in the city is displayed on the model. The model is equipped with an interactive hi-end system for building's illumination from the inside, which can be controlled by selecting objects in accordance with the scenario. The system has a smart controller with a touchscreen display, every visitor can set different times of day on the model and highlight related objects,...
