| Isakievsky Cathedral |
Last week I went to St.Petersburg. That is why my latest posts here were scheduled and I could not visit your blogs (and sorry about that).
I decided that today I show you the second largest city in Russia and the one so unique and worth your visit. As patriot-Muscovite I can tell that the visited city was too straightforward for me, with its balanced streets, roads, mostly18th century buildings, almost no trees, so opposite in every way to chaotic Moscow.

| Petropavlovsky Fortress |
But anyway, I have to admit, it is so beautiful and so original and special.

| Winter Palace's Gates and Alexander's Column |
Let's break the CDPh rules (again) and do some National_Geographic today!
More photos here. As there are more then 15 photos total, I hide them under cut.
