Ever stopped here?

Bus stops are not very spectacular-looking, do you agree? These bus stops in the former Soviet Union are different. The Canadian photographer Christopher Herwig came across them on a trip and used them for his book “Soviet Bus Stops”. 

01

Pitsunda

The bus stop in Pitsunda in Abkhazia is like a spaceship. But the roof doesn't really look very rainproof.

Rostovanovskoye

Saint George killing the dragon on the roof of the bus stop in the Russian city of Rostovanovskoye. It is a miracle that the building doesn't collapse under the weight of the huge statue.

Aralsk

The bus stop with a small tower is in Aralsk in Kazakhstan. From the top you get a wonderful view over the deserted Steppe Plains.

04

Gagra

Even more bizarre is this mosaic structure in Gagra, also in Abkhazia. What is that – a giant seashell-shaped bus stop? It definitely took a tremendous effort to build this work of art.
