Moscow Subway Escalator by jyokota

Moscow Subway Escalator

I would like to spend days just visiting and photographing the various subway stations in Moscow when there are few people around. Today, we took a comfortable, efficient, high-speed train (with wifi!) to St Petersburg. I had heard of these overnight coaches as a way to get there, but we arrived in under 4 hours.
Immediate fav!!! I love this type of shot and your framing/processing in b&w. Perfect!!

You should do a similar shot in St. Petersburg! The subway goes under the river in the center of town, so the escalators are at least as double as long, so you get a longer perspective. However, almost all stations in st.Petersburg have ads and poster boards on the escalators now, so I couldn't find a "clean" one to photograph while I was there.

@Taffy @pistache @graemestevens @cgribben @seanna @fntngrma @sailingmusic @agedrunner @dibzgreasley @joemuli @pixelchix @shepherdmanswife -- Many thanks for your comments! This was my husband's favorite. Of course, I thought of @Taffy and @northy who often take spectacular subway shots in black and white.

@tracie8266 -- I agree -- but this was taken kneeling in front of the empty escalator so I pretended not to see the people coming down.

@vera365 -- Our host read your comment and she took us to the subway today to try out some photography there. Hope to post one later! Thanks for the tip. Subway stations in Russia are magnificent !!!!!

A belated fav for this super composition and flowing lines, along with the "one side up," "another side down" line of people.
