Krasnopresnenskaya embankment is place with a good city scape view... And full of history...
You can see Hotel Ukraine in front and Moscow city scyscrapers behind.
On the left is Novoarbatsky Bridge.
Behind the scene is White House (or House of government of the Russian Federation) and Humpback Bridge (or 1905 year bridge).
Been neglecting my ICM shots so I'm going to try and make amends :)

Kotelnicheskaya Embankment, 1/15, Moscow, Russia
The year of construction is 1938–1952. Height 32 floors. Architects D. N. Chechulin, A. K. Rostkovsky. The building was entered in the register of cultural heritage sites of regional significance in 2007.
This is one of seven skyscrapers, which, according to the General Plan for the reconstruction of Moscow in 1935, were to become the new architectural dominants of the city, and were later named symbols of the Stalinist Empire style. The characteristic features of this style are a combination of elements of baroque, late classicism, post-constructivism, art deco and neo-gothic, as well as a combination of luxury and monumentality in decoration and interiors. Outside, the skyscraper on Kotelnicheskaya is faced with granite and ceramics, and inside - marble, non-ferrous metals and valuable wood species.
Famous residents: ballerina Galina Ulanova, poets Alexander Tvardovsky, Andrei Voznesensky, Evgeny Yevtushenko, Robert Rozhdestvensky, actors Alexander Shirvindt, Mikhail Zharov, Faina Ranevskaya, Nonna Mordyukova and many others.

The poor, forgotten third member of the trio of Martian machines from H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds, the Embankment Machine is a digging and excavation automaton built by the Martians and used to shore up the walls of their pit beachhead.
It doesn't get much of a description in the novel, so I've used my imagination.
