This
was a quick Saturday outing on a day when I had almost no motivation
to do anything, or go anywhere. I'm not sure why, as I usually want
to see everything and everywhere on a weekend, but that definitely
didn't happen this weekend.
Social
media had showed me photos of a newly opened 'ekowalk' in VDNKh. It's
basically a raised wooden walkway in one corner of the property of
the entire complex.
Getting
there took a fair amount of walking, after a metro ride. Lucky me
decided to go out there on a day with gray skies and some rain, but
there were still plenty of people out and about. I'll admit I'd hoped
the crappy weather would keep people at home, and out of my photos,
but no such luck.
The
photos I got without many people were after a lot of waiting, as it
seemed everyone and their mother wanted an Instagram worthy photo on
this new walkway. I guess that's how social media works these days.
I
knew almost immediately that I'd have to come back another day for
that kind of photo for myself, and it would probably have to be a
weekday.
After
walking the full length of the walkway I walked through the main part
of VDNKh, seeing a few buildings I hadn't seen before. I'm glad
Moscow was one of the host cities for the World Cup tournament 18
months ago, as some of these buildings had finally been updated,
after being covered by scaffolding for quite a while.
