End of the Line #5 - Юго-Западная

The southern end of the red line - Yugo-Zapadnaya

Another installment in the series where I ride the metro to the end of the line and check out what's going on out there so that you, dear reader, don't have to. Yugo-Zapadnaya is, as the name suggests, in the southwestern part of Moscow, out past Moscow State University and the Luzhniki Sport Complex. All of these photos were taken last Saturday, February 19, between 2 and 3pm.


Stenciled sign on the wall of the underground
street crossing/metro exit, advertising the
location of a stop where one can catch privately
operated buses running to nearby auto and
clothes markets.


A stray dog surveys a snowy field.


Stray dog next to vacant gambling hall and faded ads for Rifle jeans.


Poster advertising the Russian-language version of Mel
Gibson's epic about Jesus - here it's called "Christ's Passions,"
although I guess that's just a matter of translation - next
to a sign advertising a currency exchange.


Pigeons vie for the spot atop the metro sign
as snowboarders and others wait for the bus.
