A quiet day on Nevsky Prospect
22 September 08
I just remembered that there are lots of photos from Russia that I never posted, so here are a few more.
Nevsky Prospect is one of Russia's most famous streets and St Petersburg's main thoroughfare. On our last day, the road was closed for resurfacing and open only to pedestrians. It was so weird to see it used by people with umbrellas, not bumper to bumper traffic!

Having seen Nevsky Prospekt choked up with traffic the first and second pictures are totally surreal. You were pretty lucky to see it like that!

nevsky prospect is mental, the roads are so wide, i love how they’ve buckled and worn down from all the cars passing over them
did you know that the streets in moscow were widened so they could fit a fighter jet down them? scary huh.
