Album fourteen
(Translated by D. Mosesian)


This happens only four times a year...
Today the Spring started at our Wandering Camera! :-)

And a pleasant news coincided with this great event - the site Wandering Camera has won the nomination "Personal" from the organization ROCIT, in frame of a yearly competition :

Neva... The ducks have thawed out and now looking for something to. eat The duck in the center of the frame was dipping half of its beak in the water and then accelerated, paddling quickly with its paws ;)

As you've probably guessed looking at the title, we'll start our spring walks from the environs of the Anichkov Palace and Aleksandrinskii Theater. .

Rossi street (it was called Theater street before), at its and - Aleksandrinskii Theater

Someone has accused me that I don't make interesting photos of statues. Well, there is something in it - I am somehow suspicious of them. :)

Ostrovsky square.

This is the building on the right side of the previous frame. They told me it belonged to architect Basin.

Public library

Very springtime frame. Almost as springtime as the ducks ;)

One of the pavilions of Anichkov Palace

This and the three following frames are made in the little park by the Anichkov palace..

Snowmen don't know yet that the cunning rays of the spring sun are creeping from behind.

In the background - monument to Catherine II. Very ill-placed monument that spoiled all the plans of Rossi. Before there was an unobstructed view from Nevskii prospect on the theater and Theater square, but now the monument and the little park around it are blocking it completely ;(
