Say what you will about America’s mortal enemy the former Soviet Union, but they built some wild bus stops.

The series was shot by photographer Christopher Herwig. Click through for a few more samples:

    The strangest thing about these bus stops is that they all appear to be in the middle of nowhere. Who are the buses for?

    I saw dozens of similar ones in Uzbekistan (former Soviet Union), for local and intercity buses apparently. They are magnificent but hardly used - people prefer to wait outside, at least in summer.
