My freaky day :)))

Sep 07, 2009 19:23


This morning I came out on the wrong station. I didnt just exit the train I exited the metro station and only outside I realized that I see not exactly what I was supposed to see %))) Yeah, I looked really surprised) So that's one.

I got out of work earlier today and so I ran to the metro and was waiting for the train. As the train came I took a look at it, realized I didnt want it, turned around and walked out of the metro. That's freaky #2 moment.

I took a really nice walk in the center of Moscow and visited some of my beloved buildings. It'll take years for me to describe it all so I'll cut to my #1. My heart chose to fall for a building of "modern" style (being a smart ass now))))) To start with, the Metropol building enjoys a killer location. What is so special about it besides location? Well, that's an easy question for me. The exterior design of the building consists of so many different decor techniques: plaster frieze with the "four seasons of the year" theame, seramic panels, beautiful arches and windows. The design for seramic panels was made by a very prominant Russian painter whom I really-really love. His name is Mikhail Vrubel and he was crazy talented.

That's what it used to look like back in the day:
