some Moscow subway shots









as i was on my own & didn't speak any Russian, i opted to not get my camera out much in the Underground (& most of the photos i did take were blurry!), which was a shame as it was quite simply an amazing place - worth going to Moscow just to travel about down there, get off at random stops, & check out the amazing stations, halls, statues, etc

great sites/photos here...
