Borodinsky bridge sketch

I had some time to spare yesterday and decided make a sketch of the Borodinsky bridge in Moscow which was built in 1912 to commemorate Borodino battle during Russian-French war of 1812 and reconstructed under Stalin rule in 1952, becoming a part of surrounding "Stalin empire" architectural ensemble, including Ukraine hotel (1 of the 7 Stalin skyscrapers in Moscow) to the right.

Now it was really cold to sketch witn 0 degree outside, so I guess summer sketch would be nicer. Nevertheless, what's done is done :)
