Ten winter cityscapes of St.Petersburg from a day long photo-walk

qwerrie in Visual Shots • 10 days ago (edited)

Outdoors ad for the restaurant of americn food. Quite creative!

All the bikes still have X-mas mood, thats for sure. Maybe they enjoy the vacays, who knows?

I passed a fine art doorway that could not but admire - and took a few close-up captures.

Karpovka-river embankment.

A good spot to stop for a cup of hot coffee -- and enjoy the frozen cityscape, hehe. A cup of hot drink really can change your point of view.. for a few minutes.

Meanwhile, shadows lengthen and sunlight becomes thinner...

I catch the last rays of the setting sun and put my camera away.

It was a long walk, but I'm glad I didn't freeze!

I don't think I stumbled upon something unique or made truly brilliant shots, but definitely brought home a few decent visuals that day. I was especially pleased with an eye-catching restaurant ad - the Christmas truck. Cool and unusual visual. Which photo you'd choose as your fave in this selection?

Не думаю что натолкнулся на какие то редкости или сделал выдающиеся кадры; но несколько любопытных снимков в тот день я точно принес домой. Особенно меня порадовал рождественский грузовик - цепляющая внимание реклама и необычный креатив.

I like the closeup of the doorway. Those figures help me imagine the St. Petersburg of Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy. Especially Dostoyevsky. I came across The Idiot when I was an adolescent and was wandering around the local library. The book was a revelation. I fell in love with 'The Russians', and plowed through them, one after the other. Thank heavens they were prolific :)))

Well, I'd say this shot looks authentic (to some extension). Although Dostoevsky described the reality of the 1880s — Russia during the reign of Emperor Alexander II — his characters lived and worked mostly in cheaper apartment buildings. This particular building is most likely a later construction, circa 1900s or 1910s, and and housed a wealthier tenants - but from a distant perspective, the difference is not very significant. =)
The appeal of St. Petersburg is that it has preserved and protected the compact historical center of the imperial capitol (not like London or Moscow). If one ignore the parked cars, wires, neon signs, and lights, he can travel back in time.
Thanks a lot for choosing your favorite my friend.

Let me treat you with a Hive !PIZZA

That's what I did :) I specialize in ignoring 'reality' and choosing to see what I want. Why not?

Reality does intrude, but until then, I live a couple of feet off the ground and pretend it doesn't exist.

It is very hot here now. And seeing these winter pictures cooled me down. The Christmas bike is really beautiful. I liked all the photos. Having a hot cup of coffee in the cold weather is like a cold drink in the hot summer weather here. Thank you for this good feeling
