many things undoubtedly…. Great architecture, amazing ballet, outstanding people as Chaikovsky and Dostoevsky. But in my opinion the "visiting card" of Saint-Petersburg are "white nights" and countless bridges! Oh, I've completely forgotten about weather!:) It's always raining:)!

Vasil'evskiy Island is a popular place which just-married like to visit. Sometimes you could simply see there several couples in one time. They are happy and even frost doesn't force them to get into their limousines.

The skating rink wich is situated at Palace Square is actually very popular. But now it's desert since spesial machines are polishing it.

Yesterday I was walking along Palace Square, the main city's square, you know. My attention was attracted by a pile of snow where little kids were pottering about in it. They were so happy but their parents couldn't pull them away of it!

Today we have been walking for several hours by Nevsky prospect - the main street of St. Petersburg, as you know. A Christmas fair was opened just near Alexandrovsky theatre. You could taste some hot drinks there: for instance, mulled wine and real russian sort of "sbiten" - not alcohol, with flavour of honey.

Main New Year tree at Dvortchovaya square. Bengal lights, firecrackers, presents… wonderful holiday!

Look how fascinating Russian museum is in beams of laser show. Sound and light create anforgettable atmosphere. I would like to share this scene with You!

This sculpture represents young Peter The Great during the process of ship building, since he had been studying a woodcraft in Holland. Sculpture is established at Admiralteysky embankment. The copy is also in Holland.

This nice attractive bear appeared recently at Nevsky Prospect not far from Alexandrovsky Theatre. This bright creature cheers me up as I see him I must say!
