Drunk driver

When the Russians have had enough to drive, they let their dogs drive.

This man was buying booze in a store on the way home, so probably close to the truth.

Doors open on train


It was a misty morning this morning on the way to work. The tall weeds were siloetted in the cold sunlight.
Maybe because of the humidty, maybe because of cheap unserviced parts, the doors on the train wouldn't shut, so after a long wait, the train drove off with the doors open and people looking out.

It held up the next train which could be seen waiting in the mist.

A safe Path


Find the safe path to the station?

Workers dug this out on both sides but put no fence to stop people from falling in.

Lots of Drunk Russian men + deep hole by path = man in ditch in morning.

It'll happen one morning and I'll photo it.

Russian Bear Training

Well we eventually found Russian Bear Training.
He trained it using pieces of bread. There were 3 bears in this compound.
I guess a traditional Russian Bear training costume
...but this bear just stepped forward and back, forward and back, time and time again. if a human did this we would say he is crazy. I used to see big cats and apes act like this in Zoos in UK back in the '70s.

Russian Recycling

This is next to a country rail station. The men sit here, drink beer and throw the bottles over their shoulder.
Nothing different than from the city but in the city poor people come and collect the bottles. They get 30 Rubles per bottle. 47 Ruble = £1.
But there are no poor who can be arsed to come here, or as they are poor, they don't come to the rail station. Whatever, the bottles stay here.
Beautiful isn't it. This will be dug up in 2000 years time and will be an 'ancient burial ground' or something stupid like that.
