Moscow (from the plane)

Moscow is Russia's capital and Europe's largest city with a population of 12.2 million inhabitants in the city. On the flight from Copenhagen to Hong Kong, we made a stop over in Moscow's Sheremetyevo. From the Aeroflot plane I had the opportunity to take some pictures of the commie blocks and other areas in the outskirts and the brand new CBD from afar, where you find many of Europe's tallest buildings.
