St Petersburg III

Summer Gardens and Summer Palace

Main corridor of the Summer Gardens. The most manicured and tourist friendly site in St Petersburg.

Sculptures in the garden. They were buried during the war to protect them and ensure they were not looted.

300 year old Russian bling.

Me in my sweet tourist jacket.

Peter the Great would meet diplomats and meditate in this little gazebo.

An old Russian.

Amazing "Call of the Wild" sculpture.

Summer Palace from the land.

Old school Russian opulence.
