Silence and slightly unearthy light are the keepers of the place. Remodelling takes time. And money, too. So not surprisingly many beautiful places still are waiting for their turn. This old bell-tower long since lost its bells and looks decaying and abandoned.
Small trees take advantage of the dirt accumulated in the old cracks.
Over the recent years, so many beautiful places disappeared replaced by ugly faceless shining cubes of modern constructions. Of course it is impossible to tell the story of Moscow renovations and not to mention the largest hole in the city. The one that occupies the whole Manezhnaya Square, the large area right by the Kremlin walls. Once upon a time, in the course of political activities of 1990-1991, rallies gathering 300,000 and more participants took place here. Now the largest in Europe entertainment and shopping center is under construction here.
