Building of Moscow Government
This 31 floor building at the New Arbat street was erected in 1970. Muscovites call it "Book" due to it's shape.

I travel to and through Moscow once, or twice, a year. Usually, I do not have time for pictures. This last trip was to be no different,as I was arriving at 2030, on 24 December, leaving the next day.
I contacted Arthur to take me around Moscow. I couldn't believe he wanted to that late, but there we were, freezing temps, photographing Moscow from many venues.
Arthur proved to be quite knowledgeable about history, and such, but that did not surprise me.
Next time I visit, I will schedule a more reasonable amount of time, getting day, as well as night, photographs.
Thank you, Arthur. You made it a fun time, and we both captured a lot of great images. See you this summer, I hope.
