Russia

A sketch of a view from the train between Domodedovo airport and the Moscow towncenter. In Russia most apartment buildings don’t have enough parking space for the growing number of cars. So a lot of car owners have a garage, made of dull green painted corrugated steel plate. They form large gated complexes in leftover pieces of land . The garages are often supervised, like this one which had a permanent guardhouse overlooking the terrain.

This is a Ural truck, a powerfull heavy 6 wheel truck originating from the Russian army, but now in use on the building site. No luxury, but I have seen them working at minus 35 degrees celcius.
