How things change before if I got a chocolate orange I'd think great yum yum !! Now i think " Wonder what a shot of that would look like "
Taganskaya is a station on the Koltsevaya line of the Moscow Metro. It opened on 1 January 1950 with the first segment of the fourth stage of the system. The station is named after the Taganka Square which is a major junction of the Sadovoye Koltso.
Designed by architects K. Ryzhkov and A. Medvedev, this pylon station was built with the post-war flamboyance in mind, the overall design is based on the traditional Russian motives in decorations. The central feature of the station are 48 maiolica panels located on each face of the pylon. (works of Ye.Blinova, P. Kozhin, A. Sotnikov, A. Berzhitskaya and Z. Sokolova). These contain apart from floral elements, profile bas-reliefs of various World War II Red Army and Navy servicemen each dedicated to a group such as pilots, tank crews, sailors etc. The color gamma is balanced in such a way that the panels facing the central hall are on a blue majolica background, whilst the platform hall panels are monochromatic. Lighting comes from a set of 12 gilded chandeliers in the central hall with the same blue majolica center. The remaining decoration of the station include a cream-colored ceramic tile on the walls, powder colored marble on the lower pylons and also on the walls, and a checkerboard floor layout of black and gray granite.
The end of the central hall once had a large sculptural group Stalin and youth, however this was replaced in 1961 by a new artwork of the same authors (P. Baladin and Ye. Blinova) depicting Vladimir Lenin, Coats of arms of the Soviet Republics and images of Hero-Cities Leningrad, Stalingrad, Sevastopol and Odessa. This was also taken down in late 1966 to make way for a transfer to the newly opened Taganskaya of the Zhdanovskaya line. Further transfer was opened in 1979 by adding a stairwell into the middle of the central hall for the new station Marksistskaya of the Kalininskaya line. A replica of the Stalin and youth was unveiled in 2025 as part of the 90th anniversary of the opening of the metro.
Because the Taganka Square is located on the hill, in order to conveniently place the large vestibule, and also preserve a nearby heritage building, the escalator descent had to be broken, and an intermediate hall was added by placing a large cylinder and gradually lowering to the required depth. After a dome was added, the interior work on the new lobby began, the walls of which are faced with Altai marble Oroktoy with Syringa shade, and the pilasters from white marble. The dome contains a large ceiling fresco, Victory Fireworks by A. Shiryaeva.
On 18 November 2005 the vestibule was closed for restoration, during which old escalators (installed in 1949) were replaced. All of the decoration features were renovated, and the upgrade included new turnstiles, ticket offices and security upgrade. The station was re-opened on 20 December 2006.
It was the deepest station in Moscow Metro from 1950 until 1958.
On 15 May 2025, a bas-relief wall panel depicting Joseph Stalin was installed in the connecting passage between the two Taganskaya stations. An earlier version of this sculpture at this location was removed in 1966. Stalin was removed from the relief in the 1950s during the De-Stalinization campaign. Russian human rights activist Yan Rachinsky wrote that "among Stalin’s victims were more than 750 construction workers and employees of the Moscow Metro. More than 140 were executed, including the subway’s first director, Petrikovsky (his name appears in a Stalinist execution list dated August 20, 1938). There’s no mention of these people anywhere in the subway today, but the man responsible for their deaths is honored with a life-sized statue."

My plan for this year was to hike from Breckenridge to Twin Lakes, via Leadville, and then hike the Collegiate Loop. That would've been about 200 miles. I didn't even make it to Twin Lakes. For some reason I just wasn't in to hiking this year. Maybe it was the distance, I don't know. The scenery that I had already enjoyed should have spurred me on but it did not.
The hiking for the day was not difficult. The trail went past a few landmarks. First thing in the morning was Cataract Creek Falls. Shortly thereafter the trail went through a meadow until it passes Camp Hale bunker ruins. At 9300' Camp Hale was a military, winter training camp during WWII. I bet it was cold and snowy!
After crossing East Fork Eagle River, the trail reentered the woods. I took a short break at the James Miller Memorial Bench where I contemplated going into Leadville earlier than planned. There are 3 easy access points to Leadville from the Colorado Trail. I was planning to catch a hitch at the end of Segment 8 via Tennessee Pass off of US24. The trail crosses US24 several miles before Tennessee Pass and that is where I decided to go in.
I caught a ride fairly quickly and made it to the Leadville Hostel where my car was parked. I was done hiking but I wasn't done hiking. Less than 35 miles of hiking for this year. Well those were backpacking miles. After getting off the trail I hung around Leadville for a few days. I day hiked the rest of Segment 8 and a portion of Segment 9. I climbed Mount Elbert (start very early to avoid crowds and possible thunderstorms).
So even though I didn't hike as far as I had planned I still had a good time exploring around Leadville.

Day 2 (Segment 25)
random campsite to random campsite
After the pass were a few switchbacks. Switchbacks tend to lessen the steepness, as well as prevent water erosion. Dropping from the treeline the trail went in and out of the trees. There were a couple of nice cascading waterfalls. I stumbled upon a plaque commemorating Gudy Gaskill who was known as the ‘Mother of the Colorado Trail.’ She worked tirelessly to ensure the Colorado Trail became a reality. Although the CT follows the same footpath as the Continental Divide Trail for many miles, it does not share the same designation as a National Scenic Trail.
As Grizzly Peak loomed over and shortly after finding the plaque prominently displayed on a large rock, the trail crossed Cascade Creek via a bridge. Having built several trail bridges myself (on the AT), I can imagine the difficulty in the construction process, including the transportation of materials to this isolated area.
Steady uphill, sidehill climb was next. The trail meandered along with still awesome views. Encountered a ‘false’ pass only to make the turn and see that I had another ½ mile or so to go. False summits, or a pass in this instance, are usually disappointing when you realize you haven’t quite attained the goal. With a very prominent, busting through the pines, Engineer Mountain, it was difficult to be disappointed. A stunning, singular peak reaching to almost 13, 000 ft (12,968’).
A huge meadow with frequent trees was pleasant to stroll through giving a final glimpse of Engineer Mountain. After a short dirt road hike, I took a break at Celebration Lake which some online maps claim to be Bolam Lake. Bolam Pass Rd is also here as the beginning of Segment 26. There were bikers and other day users enjoying the abundant sunshine here.
A few more hours of hiking led me through another nice meadow. I was feeling pretty good as I stopped at a water source for dinner. Oftentimes campsites are dry so I would stop early for dinner and camel up for the next day. Water was plentiful today but tomorrow includes a dry section through Segment 27.
After about 15.9 miles of hiking, I found a decent campsite nestled amongst some tall pines. Couldn’t have asked for a better weather day with no clouds in sight all day.
One of a group of sculptures by Rabarama that were displayed on the sidewalks near the Mairie of the 5th arr. in Paris, October 2008.
Worked well on the first try.
Heat was applied from the outside, so I made sure to leave room to get a good shot of heat around behind the throat-sheet too.

Satsumas are the taste of winter. Well, amongst other things, such as mulled wine, hotpot [/northern], red cabbage, soup and miniature heroes (in a tin)
Some of the canes from the last few days. Still have more to go, finish, reduce, wrap, etc. And of course photos.
