Description:

The Shukhov Tower is a masterpiece of great Russian engineer Vladimir Shukhov. It is one of the symbols of Moscow. The Shukhov Tower is in trouble now. The construction is corroded and it might be disassembled and relocated from its historical place. I have been captured this roof landscape with dominant Shukhov Tower at different time and seasons. Just as a memento.
