Album 196
(Translated by
Peter Sobolev)
This is the third time I showing you the white nights. As
before, comments will be brief, without specyfing of architect and when
it was built.
 |
Winter palace and Palace square. This time weather was changing frequently, so sky was
sometimes light (like on this photo), sometimes dark because of the
clouds.
|
| Opposite to the Winter palace - house at
the corner of Nevsky prospect and Admiralteysky prospect. |
 |
 |
Fountain in front of the Winter palace |
| Now some shots from the Palace bridge. Winter
palace..
|
 |
 |
On the right, in the distance - Admiralty building. |
| Same building, but closer.. People
crowding to see how bridge will be raising. |
 |
 |
Peter and Paul fortress is scaffolded |
| Winter palace again..
There are some strange colors on photo, especially for sky.
This is because highlighting in the city made with various lamps -
flourescent and incadescent. Camera can't be perfect on white balance
in such conditions. It is not easy to correct the colors on such
photo, so I left it as is. |
 |
 |
Kunstkamera |
| Next to it - Academy of Science building. |
 |
 |
Rostral column |
| The same |
 |
| Rare photo, in the sense that you can
see the whole Winter palace from here. |
| Fence of Birzevoy (Stock) bridge |
 |
 |
View to the raised Birzevoy brigde (the
closest), Troizky bridge and Liteyniy bridge |
| Something like a restaurant near the
Birzevoy bridge |

Across the river Neva - "Pushkin's
house" (former Custom house) on the Makarova embankment |
| Further along the embankment - the church
of St.Catherine |
