Krymsky Bridge and River Tram

Krymsky Bridge and River Tram

There are over a hundred bridges in the Russian capital, but few are more famous than the Krymsky Bridge. It leads directly into Gorky Park. Krymsky (Crimean) Bridge was built in 1938 based on the design by engineer A.V. Vlasov. The river in this place is shallow and centuries ago it was known as the Krymsky (Crimean) ford where the Crimean Tatars were crossing the river during their raids. The modern bridge is 671 metres long and 33.3 metres wide.
"River Trams" is given name by Muscovites of the small passenger river boats, which float on the Moscow-river every half hour at summer season.

Arthur was an amazing guide! I had a hectic schedule, photographing for American Express-owned Departures magazine in early March. Everything was organized pretty last minute and it wasn't easy to quickly get permission for the various sites I had to photograph. But Arthur did an incredible job. He was very persistent and came through on everything, all the while maintaining his humour! I know for sure I couldn't have done my 3-day shoot without his superb guidance! Thanks a million, Arthur!! You're the best!
