The Kremlin Gate, Moscow, Russia     

1998     

Macduff Everton     

Resurrection Gate, an entrance to the Kremlin, sparkles with evening lights.

"The great red-walled Kremlin is the core of Moscow, and of all Russia. In front of Resurrection Gate, the entrance to Red Square, is the zero-kilometer mark by which all distances are measured. The enormous gate and its tiny companion, an 18th-century chapel that looks like a child's playhouse, are recent restorations: The originals were destroyed so that Stalin could drive his tanks into the square for parades."

看著這麼雄壯美麗的克里姆林宮前的門樓...

如果此時響起柴可夫斯基的胡桃鉗組曲，

還出現娃娃兵在紅場跳著芭蕾舞，

感覺是那麼地理所當然....
