Back to town

St. Petersburg, Russia

Now this is where it would be nice to be! So beautiful! The water is a blue-ish black which is cool and then the amazing shapes of the buildings with all the lights, also all the lines going across is awesome and then all topped of by such a serene sky! FAV

Could be in Venice of course! Beautiful look from the bridge where you are standing in just the right place!

LOVE this -- those electric lines caught my eye, too, and I tried to capture them in various ways but this one is perfect with the canal, the boat, the church, and the sunset. lovely.

@jyokota Oh the wires! Those can be a photographic subject on their own! I always feel sorry for the buildings carrying all that wait. But you are right - there is some special aesthetics about them.

[Taffy]

Love, love, love this! The wires actually help make the composition even more striking!

Thank you! It is a photographer's dream to go that far north in the summer - the "evening light" just hangs on and on and on after the sun has already set. There is this weird balancing between the approaching darkness and some special clarity in the light that just lingers on and on. Plus the beautiful scenery of the town - you can't help but find beautiful views! :)
