Album One
(Translated by Grigori Melnik)
Going along Nevsky prospect, through Palace Bridge,
and further along
University Front...
 |
Kasansky Cathedral. By the way, that shiny thing sticking out on the right
side is not a parking meter (as a some people might think) but a donation basket :) |
| View
of Nevsky Prospect. Admiralty from afar ('under construction'). Not a real fun to shoot
photos standing in the middle of Nevsky Prospect even if it's a green light. So let's move
on. |
 |
 |
Zimny (Winter Palace), Palace Square. Horses, equipages... Just Catherine
The Great is missing to have a look on all these :) |
| The fountain near Winter Palace. Because of very short exposition and good
lightness, the water drops seem to be poised in the air. |
 |
 |
The views from Palace Bridge on Troitsky Street. Gauze in the background
is real (the machine cleaning the supports of the bridge has nothing to do with it) |
|
The view to Lieutenant Schmidt Bridge. A streetcar still managed to get in
the shot. Oh, well, fiat if so!
|
 |
 |
The rostral column. That was such a fetcher to asphalt the right side of
the picture in Adobe Photoshop. But let's not disguise history.
|
|
We are at University Front. Admirality and St. Isaac Cathedral are right
across Neva river.
|
 |
 |
The palace Bridge from another side..
|
|
The sphinx on University Front. That one which flourishes with its paw on
the TV commercial of some sort of beer ;-)
|
 |
 |
Panorama of Neva river. And another view on the sphinx from unusual
position.
|
|
Lieutenant Schmidt Front. Anchor tows and ships...
|
 |
 |
What a cute picture could it be for an 'Under
Construction' page! :-) |
Harbour and Sea Port. Sunset.. |
 |
 |
'Narodovoletz' submarine (from 'Liberator') |
|
... and its last dock. Hard to believe from first view that it is in the
city.
|
 |
 |
Surrealistic landscape. But in reality, just a refuse dump in the rays of
the evening sun.
|
|
Don't even know what this building on Korablestroiteley Street
(Shipbuilders Street) is, but it's nice. As somebody suggests me around here, it might be
a water-tower. But why are there so many windows then?
|
 |
 |
Finsky Bay (Finnish Bay) abaft Pribaltiskya Hotel. |
Uh, real anti-ship battery :-) and just a monument of
Kirov battle cruiser as a by-job. |
 |
Thank you for exploring St.-Petersburg with us and till next time !
