There's a giant hole near my house.  I found out last week that it's for the metro.  It's a hole that's half a block or more long. Apparently they'll dig a long shallow hole for the metro and it will go half underground.  There's some that has to go underground but they don't seem to be working on that part yet.

Holes aren't something that generally interest me that much.  In fact, they still don't.  I just saw it and wondered: what's that? Then I started thinking about my brother who's an engineer and actually digs holes for a living.  From what I understand, his work is to very precise.  This site in Mladost however looks like a mess.  So one morning last week I had the passing thought... I bet my brother would like this hole.

I don't really knows what it takes to make a great hole so I could be totally wrong.  This might not be his kind of thing at all.  It turns out the problem with a hole like this is is that it's not so easy to catch with a camera.  So I got a pretty good picture of some of the equipment, the fence and a couple men on site (one who's not wearing a helmet) and that's about it.

I have no idea what the plan is for this metro stop.  How long it will take to open but I am guessing it won't be anytime soon given the current state of the project/dirt hole.  But it seems like this new stop will make the real estate in my neighborhood all the more valuable.
