(Fontanka river; Petersburg, Russia)
To be followed by days of spring and summer, when the full strength of the sun and the moon will be revealed. But tonight it is like in the picture above.

Petersburg by Petrosian
(by A. Petrosian)
The only part of Russia I truly miss.
My birthplace: Petersburg, the Northern Capital of Russia, through the eyes of the photographer A. Petrosian.
The tall building close to the center is Peter-Paul Fortress, the place where Alter Rebbe was imprisoned in 1799 before being liberated on Yud-Tes Kislev.
If you liked these pictures, here are some more by the same photographer. The part of Russia I do not miss. At all.
The biggest question is: how can these two Russias co-exist?
