THE ILLEGAL PICTURE


The metro systems in the Former USSR are famous for having large numbers of accessible stations, being kept clean, beautiful, and for being well designed. The other notable feature in both Moscow and St Petersburg is the depth of the the "undergound" and the extremely long escalators you have to take up and down in the city centers. I have tried to take a picture that captures the depth - but this has been difficult, in part because it is illegal to take pictures in the underground. I have already been forced to delete the nice shots I had of Sportinvnaya station in Petersburg, but they did not get them all! A small victory for me, but still, this does not capture what it feels or looks like on these deep treks.
