Album nine
(Translated by D.
Mosesian)
It's already 1998, but we shell stay a little more in
97 - at the time when there was no snow.
Let it be Petersburg at Night...
Academy of Sciences |
Palace bridge, on your right - Winter Palace and Admiralty |
Right across the bridge - the Winter Palace. |

Winter Palace from Palace embankment. They've been
restoring this place last summer, as far as I understood they were laying out the stone
pavement Tourists like very much to take pictures standing on the spotlights embedded in
the pavement.:) |
Palace square and the Arch of the General Headquarters.
Spotlights on the roof light the Winter Palace from that side. |
Alexander's column. Somewhere deep inside I have a strange feeling that
these four lamps were not here before. |

PLay of light and color...
Couldn't decide for long time whether to leave this frame or throw it away. Decided to
leave.Someone rebuked me for avoiding people in my photos. I don't know what to say. In
any case I am not doing it deliberately (unless they block my view). Perhaps it's my
subconscious. |
Carrages, horses, umbrellas... |

Admiralty.
(Winter Palace is behind us) |
Admiralty, far ahead - Palace bridge.
Pleasant view, I even found some use for it :) |

I've never thought before that scaffolds can look so
unusual. It may be hard to see on the photo, but in the rain, foggy weather the needle in
scaffolds looks like a rocket on a launching pad. |
Still Admiralty, but now from the garden |

Arch and columns. The statue on top eyes you silently:) |
If I'm not mistaken this is the Kapelle's building near the
Palace square. |

Troitskii (Trinity) bridge... |
...and a street-lamp on it. An attentive viewer might
recall seeing it in a daylight :) |

Russian museum. In the evening this is probably one of the
most impressive places. |
With this album we bid goodbye to the fall.
