This photo was taken by photographer Ekaterina Kastalskaya on February 10, 2024 in the center of Moscow.
Saturday, a lot of sun, freeze minus 15 degrees, bright blue sky.
The Bolshoi Moskvoretsky Bridge is one of the bridges across the Moscow River. It connects Vasilievsky Spusk, Varvarka Street with Bolshaya Ordynka Street.
The continuation of the bridge is the Maly Moskvoretsky Bridge across the Vodootvodny Canal. Length including approaches — 554 m, width — 40 m, height above river level — 14 m. Three-span, monolithic reinforced concrete.
It built on the site of one of the oldest crossings in the city.
Since 1498, there was a floating bridge on the way from the Tverskaya road to the Serpukhovskaya road. A wooden pile bridge was built in 1789. In 1829, stone bulls of three wooden spans of 28 m were erected.
The new Moskvoretsky Bridge, founded on July 15, 1830 and completed in 1833, was erected using wooden structures according to the design of engineer P. Ya de Witt. In 1870, the bridge burned down; in 1872, metal spans designed by engineer A.E. Struve, manufactured at his Kolomensky plant, were installed.
The name is given after Moskvoretskaya Street.

Ekaterina began photographing as a teenager at the age of 14. And of course, it was analog photography. Shooting on a Zenith, playing with exposure, developing and hand printing.
In the 2000's came the era of digital photography, and from the middle of the decade Ekaterina began to engage in reportage photography.
In 2016, she returned to analog photography again.
Now in her work she explores association as a way to connect pictures of the surrounding reality with sensory experience. Her photographs reference books she has read, movies she has watched, music videos, works of art, and simple stories that happen in everyone's life.
The genre of portraiture attracts her with its ability to show the human gaze and real emotion, be it joy, peace, tension, dramatic strife in the soul.
Ekaterina prefers to capture the moment when shooting and takes a film camera even on a simple walk in the park.
