You might make an opinion that Moscow consisted of endless greenary, parks, ponds and so on. Well, this would be a mistake to think so. It's just that I take photos of what I like the best, and I like trees and flowers much better than boring buildings, overcrowded roads and tired people faces.
But to give you an idea of 'another Moscow' I decided to show this photo of so called Third Transport Ring. Moscow roads have radial&circular structure which means there are: 1) center from where all main streets begin, 2) road rings connecting radial ones. Nowadays Moscow had 3 most important ring roads, which are Sadovoe (Garden Ring), MKAD (Moscow Circular Automobile Road) and TTK (Third Transport Ring). The latter one is the latest build, located between the other two and is a significant help to Moscow drivers. Area withing Sadovoe is considered as a city center while MKAD actually marks city border.
The photo was taken at Begovaya St., which is the part of TTK. The traffic is not very bad since it's evening hour on weekend, but this road is heavily loaded during business days. The spire on the background is Ostankino TV tower.

I also prefer nature scenes, but this photo is also very interesting to someone who's never been to Moscow.
You got a good view of the road and traffic. It seems nature is my favorite category too!
I really like your photos of greenery and parks. But this one is very informative and nice photo.
Gives the modern city life of Moscow.
Good to see another side -- I notice the skid marks leading to the car parked on the right just past the exit slip-road. Is that a police car behind it? Has it been pulled up, broken down or had an accident I'm wondering.
Nice photo. It kinda just looks like anyone of our city's.
I'd like to see more city scene (even though I understand your reasons of preferring nature scene ;-)). So I'm glad to see such an urban picture :)
Yes, could be any city anywhere. Thank you, I love to see all aspects of your city, Irina, though, i too, love nature most.
excellent photo. There is much to see. I am confused with the blue traffic arrows on the left side of the photo. They point in the opposite direction that the traffic is flowing?
Ok, I promiss to publish more city photos :)
Gerald,
that car was definetely pulled over, the most probable reason is overspeeding.
Slinger,
blue arrows show correct direction (they mean 'move straight only'), it's just that shooting angle brings some confusion into the picture. I stay above the right side of the road, looking a little bit to the left.
This picture makes Moscow look like any other major metropolis on the planet. Busy, very busy!
I'm tracking the Great north Dog walk this week.

Nature has been fine and am also very happy to see buildings and stuff. An array of signs greets the motorist, but its easy when you know the way.
