Album 265
(Translated by
Marianna Serebrennikova)
What a summer can go without Petergoff's photos?
| The Peter-and-Paul's Cathedral. |
| The Upper Park. The view onto the Great
Palace and the Park in front of it. |
 |
 |
As I
have told before, one of Palace wings was reconstructed as a
chapel; they added cupolas in accordance with one of old projects.
So, work is done. |
| Brilliant. |
 |
 |
A small orchestra in the Upper Park. |
| The Sea Channel and the Palace. |
 |
 |
Fountains of the Great Cascade. |
 |
"Volkhov" |
| "The Samson defeating the Lion" |
 |
 |
The view of Gulf of Finland and the Quay.
In connection with visitors number growing (because of
three-hundredth anniversary) number of "Meteor" passages to Petergoff
was approximately doubled.
At the same time there are no passages to Kronshtadt, as people say. |
| A duck is on free earnings. |
 |
 |
One more orchestra is near the Gulf.
While Vietnamese or Chinese tourists going by, the orchestra played
their national anthem; thus, stimulated a mass of positive emotions. |
| Variety of birds' world. |
 |
 |
A top of one of four little "Triton"
fountains.
Unfortunately, the fountains are surrounded with a non-photogenic
fence; evidently, visitors seized with their arms too often. |
| The "Menazherniy" fountain. |
 |
 |
To have a nap to the accompaniment of the
water. |
| The "Golden Mountain" Cascade |
 |
 |
One of the "Bell" fountains in front of
"Montpleser" Pavilion. |
| Who remembers, there are trick fountains
near "Montpleser" Pavilion, which are turned on unexpectedly and water
those, who crave for.
You can see on the photo a process of "fortuitous" turning on. It
should be noted, that a man's face doesn't express anything. Quasi he
seats accidentally there. |
 |
 |
The "Sun" fountain. |
| The same. |
 |
 |
It can be seen nearby, that the fountain
is trimmed with wood.
Or in imitation of? |
| A newly-colored dragon of "Dragon"
Cascade ("Chess Mountain") |
 |
 |
The "Roman" fountain. |
| The new wing of the Great Palace again,
evening lighting now. |
