Kotelnicheskaya Embankment Building is one of seven Stalinist skyscrapers laid down in September 1947 and completed in 1952, designed by Dmitry Chechulin (then Chief Architect of Moscow) and Andrei Rostkovsky. The main tower has 32 levels (including mechanical floors) and is 176 metres (577 ft) tall. At the time of construction it was the tallest building in Europe.[2]
The building also incorporates a 9-story apartment block facing Moskva River, designed by the same architects in 1938 and completed in 1940. Initially built in stern early Stalinist style, with wet stucco wall finishes, it was re-finished in terracotta panels in line with the central tower and acquired ornate pseudo-Gothic crowns over its 12-story raised corners and center tower. By the end of World War II, the side wing was converted to multi-family kommunalka housing, in contrast to the planned elite status of the central tower.

I really thought I had posted this a while back but checked and it's definitely not in my stream. I would love to get back to London to try some more of these shots out.
Happy Easter Everyone :-)

Following my last image of the sunset reflections on the canal, I focused on the sun as it set across the edge of the canal with the Cornwall power dam hydroelectric towers in the distance.

I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
Almost the last one of the set, this was taken inside Embankment tube station. This tunnel seemed to just go on and on forever, it looks much flatter in the photo. Again, I have had to flip part of the right hand side as my fisheye seems to be really soft on the left hand side, although again, the original is pretty much the same as this one. Very odd as it was not soft like that before? I think I am going to need to do some tests, although it is within warranty so not too worried. If anyone has experienced this or has an idea why, please let me know.
