It s not permited, Manfred, to make shots in metro!!! ))): Really it s our underground palaces not stations, as Gypsy said...In Leningradian metro you also may see some pathos stations! ( decorated with marble bronze,moulding etc)!That was the first lines builded in 1955-58 years... After war...
From no subway in other countries, there are so many photos, than from the Russian subways!! Certainly this is due to the fact, that in other countries the shooting of photos is permitted :o))
Dear Marbess, if you search photos of the moscow metro you have to look to Google. A search for photos gives a result of 856000 pictures!!! 856000 pictures of the metro!!! ..but it is not permitted to make shots in the metro :o))
Yes, this must be Frunsenskaya. But I am not sure. The Moscow metro has more than 180 stations. It is noteworthy that every station has another design! Every station is thereby optically recognizable! :-)
I think that are different places. I suppose that your photo shows the river Moscow and residential blocks of Kolomenskoye in the south of Moscow. On your photo I see the red sluice gate of Kolomenskoye. :-) My photo shows the river Yauza and residential blocks of Babushkinskaya in the north of Moscow. But, dear Gypsy, the residential blocks look alike everywhere all around Moscow! :-))
Yes, dear Elena. it is truth. In the time, when me was in Moscow, the Kremlin was closed for foreigners, because of national celebrations! The days before, even the Red Place was off-limits.
I know that during some national celebrations the Red Place and Kremlin is closed for all - admit nobody except in advance invited visitors. But I didn't know that don't admit just foreign visitors... Very strangely... I have photos of Kremlin :)
With regard to the Red Place you are probably right, dear Elena. I remember that also some Russian or Russian speaking visitors were not let pass to the Red Place. With the Kremlin all cash boxes were closed up to one. At the open cash box was a sign, that no tickets are sold to foreigners. But, so, I am not angry :-) There was so much other to see. And thus I have already one sightseeing target for my next visit in Moscow :-)))
Yes, in the relatively short time I have seen really a lot :-) I was surprised, how much Moscow is a car town (in joy of the German car industry!). I won the impression that the town is optimised for cars but not for people :-( As a pedestrian it is impossible to move a bigger distance through the town outside at open air. Frequently you have to traverse the numerous town highways by underground tunnels (like a rat). The traffic guidance is in such a way, that a cyclist needs the mentality of a kamikaze pilot to ride through the town. So in my eyes Moscow is a mega town. But Moscow does not have the charm and the humaneness like St. Petersburg, Munich or Amsterdam. Moscow was very interesting to see. But I am glad, that I don't have to live there!
I wanted to visit a friend in a residential block. Because he was not at home, I wanted to write a letter. But I didn't found a letter box. Then I looked to other residential blocks - the same! No letter boxes! How do you receive mail without letter boxes?
:-)) Letter boxes are located behind this door. I don't know how to cope postmen. When we do a visit, we usually use mobile phones, the hosts open a door. :-))
You have added so many colourful albums of Moscow and St Petersburg and I have so little time to visit at the moment. But to use the words of Arnold the muscle man "I will be back"! Have a great summer!
Please wait...
