Well, I know it is not very original - Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed on Red Square in Moscow is one of the tourists' favourites. But what the hell - here's my version of the popular landmark :)

This photo is shot with my pocket camera and the quality is not quite the same as with SLR, but I was quite happy with the result. I think the colors are quite good. The group of tourists on the foreground is not an accident - I quite liked them as otherwise the foreground would have been too empty. At September morning when I visited the place this was the best angle as otherwise the sun made the sky colorless.

WIKIPEDIA:
"The Cathedral of Intercession of the Virgin on the Moat (Russian: Собор Покрова что на Рву or simply Pokrovskiy Cathedral, better known as the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed or St. Basil's Cathedral) is a multi-tented church on the Red Square in Moscow that also features distinctive onion domes. /.../
The cathedral was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible and built between 1555 and 1561 in Moscow to commemorate the capture of the Khanate of Kazan. In 1588 Tsar Fedor Ivanovich had a chapel added on the eastern side above the grave of Basil Fool for Christ (yurodivy Vassily Blazhenny), a Russian Orthodox saint after whom the cathedral was popularly named."
