Wednesdaywalk: Walking in Kazan - A walk through the Kazan Kremlin (part 3)

This is my entry for the @tattoodjay's Wednesday walk challenge.

Today I want to continue my story about a trip to the city of Kazan, which I made several years ago at the very end of spring.

Last time I ended my story on how we went from the Annunciation Cathedral to the panorama - a place from which a fairly large part of the city is perfectly visible.

Passing by the cathedral, I paid attention to its domes. For some reason I was used to or simply believed that the domes of Orthodox churches are usually made gilded. Therefore, these blue domes were very interesting to me.

Nearby, as I recall, was the building of the Presidential Administration of the Republic of Tatarstan.

Going out onto the panorama, I was shocked by what I saw. Indeed, such a large part of the city was in full view.

At this point I decided to make a panorama to fit as much as possible on the photo.

At the bottom of the photo you can see the wooden roof, which covered the wall of the Kremlin. On the left is the Kazanka River, beyond which you can see the modern part of the city. And on the right is the historical part of the city, where you can see both historical and modern buildings.

And in the center of the panorama is a modern building, decorated like an old palace. This building is called the Palace of Farmers. As far as I remember, the Ministry of Agriculture is located here.

We did not spend long in the panorama. The guide called the group and we went on.

Returning back, I decided to take another photo of the Annunciation Cathedral.

As it turned out, the guide was rushing the group to get inside the Annunciation Cathedral. But since photography is forbidden inside, and the main purpose of my walk was photography, I decided to pay attention to the details of the cathedral.

It is interesting that the cathedral has several entrances from different sides and, apparently, for different purposes.

Here is another entry.

Granite parapets of the stairs attracted my attention and I decided to take a photo with reflection.

Turning back, I decided to remove the reflection of the presidential administration building.

Then we went to the main street of the Kremlin again.

Here I finally found a place where I managed to shoot an interesting reflection.

After our group left the cathedral, we went for a walk further through the Kremlin. But I’ll talk about this next time.

See you next Wednesday!
