Ruby (Red) Tuesday -- Russia still looking a little red?

You can see for yourself:
.


Red Square, with Lenin's tomb on the right and St. Basil's Cathedral at the west end. It would be our first of many cathedrals we would visit.

.


.
The Kremlin Wall, behind which is the Kremlin. (dah)



.
The whole city of Uglich seems to be in the process of being remodeled. This chappel, the Church of St. Dmitry on the Blood in Uglich, Russia, housed military equipment and operations back quite a few years.



Note: Blogger was not liking me to upload pictures tonight. If you have seen these previously please forgive. Click here to see my other Russia posts.



I thought I'd tell you about the rules of RUBY TUESDAY.
They are real simple:

On Tuesdays you can post any photo you like (it must be one of your own) that contains the color RED.

Your photo can contain lots of RED or a little bit of RED

AND (please) post your link here with MaryT

I will might post a NEW Ruby Tuesday each some Tuesdays.

Wow! Those pictures are great. I especially like the last one with the blue tops (I'm sure that has name, but I have no clue what it is).

Well I like these shots from the country of my ancestors :0)
They do love their red. Even though I am 100% Russian I've never been to Russia...
Have a wonderful Tuesday Jim!

What a beautiful collection of photos. Another place I would have loved to visit. Next life, I guess for that one too. Isn't it just maddening when blogger gets in that no pictures tonight mood?

Dear Jim,
how exotic. The Red Square.
Good to see it free from all those military parades from the time of the cold war.
I never knew that the wall of Kreml was red. Amazing.
You certainly are a man of many colors. I'm looking forwards to seeing your next red!

Wow - perfect subjects for Ruby Tuesday! It's interesting that Lenin's tomb is bigger than St. Basil's cathedral. We can all draw our own conclusions from that.

How lucky you are to be able to see such wonderful places. These buildings look like something from a fairy tale.

I've seen some Russians playing in the Olympics. Their flag is red, white, & blue too, also, in addition, as well.
Great shots for Ruby Red Tuesday.
