    I love the light in the second shot on this post, and the myriad of crosses atop domes in the previous post, Kay!

    Oh, looks like skies are mostly gray with a wonderful light shining through at times. When I enlarged the photo of a bridge, it seemed to show several cruise ships docked at that port. What an exciting time you must have had to see such wonders … especially the gorgeous domes in your previous post. :)

    My mother was born in St. Petersburg, but then it was Leningrad. I will have to look at more of your photos, to get a glimpse of the city.

    Intriguing views of St Petersburg! Interesting to see the absence of wall to wall high rise buildings as in most major cities!

    Loved the shots of Moscow (I've not been there) and can't wait for your St. Petersberg photos (I have been there).

    I keep telling my hubby that there are places we need to return to now that I have a better camera. ;)

    In pictures such as these, I always appreciate how open waters take the lead of the appearance of the sky. Thanks for sharing.
