Underground Moscow #3

Moscow is a radial city, and the Garden Ring (each segment of which has a different street name) is probably the most heavily traversed of all four of the concentric circles (working in toward the center, they are the MKAD, or Beltway, the 3-rd Transport Ring, the Garden Ring, and the Boulevard Ring) which make up an integral part of Moscow's layout - you can sort of see the rings within rings on this map of the city.

Anyway, this is the underpass crossing under the Garden Ring at the intersection where it changes from Bol'shaya Sadovaya Ul. to Sadovo-Kudrinskaya Ul. Cross streets at this intesection are Ulitsa Krasina and Malaya Bronnaya.



Looking from the Krasina Ul. side toward the Malaya
Bronnaya Ul. side, we see a podzemelka two-fer: a panhandler
AND a street musician..


Looking out on the Malaya Bronnaya Ul. side, toward the
Hotel Pekin - the curious little girl at the top of the stairs

just happened to be there. Both photos from October 16.
