In the photo: round and square building "KazMunaiGas". Through the arch lurks entertainment center "Khan Shatyr".





2. Water-Green Boulevard (pedestrian esplanade). The center of the visible monument "Baiterek" (height of 97 meters, the top is an observation deck). High-rise building on the left - "Temir Joly" (Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan Railways). High-rise buildings on the right - LCD "Northern Lights" (height 32, 37 and 42 floors).



3. Residence of the President "Ak Orda". The height of the building with a spire is 80 meters. On the right on the horizon - the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation.



4. The left wing of the House of Ministries (Gold Tower). In the center - the Parliamentary complex. This is what we were shooting from the upper floors of the building of the Parliament.



5. And we have already got to the upper floors in the administrative and technological complex "Transport Tower", the building is popularly known as "Lighter" (burned three times). Of course, shoot through the glass at night is not an option. In the photo you can see the same building as the photos on the cover.



6. Mosque "Nur Astana". Goes beyond the horizon of the airport (the airport has left far on the horizon).



7. After that, we climbed to the roof to try to make normal shots. Kabanbay Batyr Avenue. On the horizon, the LCD "Triumph of Astana" - a clone of the Moscow "Triuf Palace."



8. View of the Water-Green Boulevard. Be sure to come to Astana took off in the summer and more views of the city from a height. And then you realize ponastroili steep skyscrapers and beautiful pictures no.

But in general I liked the new Astana. It is not even in new buildings, and in the absence of advertising and wires on poles. Do not believe it, but found detached billboard in the city is not so easy. Well and wires on the posts they do not hang out.

Transfer of the capital close to the geographical center of the country is also very correct decision. And in Russia it is time to transfer the capital from Moscow, it would be better.
