The winter way, a lot of grey

Hello :) Just want to show some pictures from where I live now. Done today at noon. I was walking towards metro.

There are just pictures from my way, across the housing and a school yard, because it is a shorter way. Pictures are clickable, if you manage to find something fancy to want a more detailed view.

It is a snowy winter. There were almost minus 30C frosts this season, but right now here are quite comfortable minus 11.

The school. With bás-reliefs of Russian literature classics. Building is from the middle of the twentieth century, so here is some architecture (modern schools are generally like boxes).

The school stadium, occupied for Saturdays for football (soccer). Yes, it is played on the snow.

Announcement board. Used as adverts boards mostly.

Somebody`s Saturday morning. Winter reflection.

Empty.

According to some horoscopes 2010 is the year of Tiger. So some people decorate cars (or anything else) with toy-tigers. For good luck or just without any particular purpose. Perhaps just because you`ve got several tigers as a gift. I think I got three or four. You know, all that stuff about commercialized holiday season. As for the photo, it is awful, but I was not going to attract attention picturing somebody`s car.

Not the Abbey Road, but sort of close visually. In fact, the road ahead is the Volgogradsky prospect (the Volgograd avenue, and by the way it is huge). "Volgograd" is the current name of the town "Stalingrad", for those who are in the history. For those who are more in linguistics, "Volgograd" means "town on the Volga", and the Volga is the river (for those who are in geography :))

So is the Kuzminky underground station in Moscow (named after the village which was here before). South-East, overcrowded. It is not very light without sun, I decided not to Photoshop to show the real light. It may start snowing soon, if it is that dark.

M n` M. One “M” is for underground (or metropolitain, or metro). Another one is also quite well-recognized.

That was grey, I agree. But hopefully you enjoed it :) See you later!
