St. Petersburg is the only city in Russia that I liked… and I loved it. Amazing buildings and museums. The people weren’t any friendlier there than the rest of Russia, but the scenery was great.

Gorgeous photo, Michael. I’ve never visited St Petersburg and your pic is even better than how I imagined it!

I hear it rains a lot there, hence you often get a lot of clean sky pics afterward. The blue in this photo contrasting with the building is amazing.

thank you — I was a big fan of the colors of that city, for sure
Wow, the architecture alone would make it worth visiting! I’ve never been to Russia, but I’ve heard some mixed reviews…. great photo, though.

I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m one of the people with mixed reviews myself.
Oh wow I love it!!! The colors are bad ass. This really makes me want to go.

Which other cities did you visit in Russia? I admit to being a bit of a Russophile, but Moscow absolutely blew my mind. St Petersburg I loved, but I found it very European, and in some ways less challenging.

I did Murmansk, St. Petersburg, Moscow and Irkutsk. Really liked St. Pete. Thought Moscow was fine. Not a big fan of the others, nor a huge fan of the Russian people in my limited experience.
your pic is so beautiful! I wish to visit that city in the near future!
thanks for sharing and have a nice week end!
I can’t wait to visit Russia one day! Great colors in this photo.

Well, I’m not going to tell you I am a huge Russia fan, but I did really like St. Petersburg.
First, thanks very much for your praise of my picture of the whriling dervishes. I visited St Petersburg when i was in my teens (about xxxxx years ago) and absolutely loved the buildings. I’m a great fan of Russian history and literature and your picture makes the soul soar skywards.
Your shot was great. Makes me want to try to get that shot right in the next few months while I am back over there.
There have to be few places in the world that can match the unique and amazing architecture of Russia.

at least true for St. Petersburg and some of Moscow, for sure!
Great photo!
There are places you’d go to for the beaches or for the wildlife. Russia is one place you’d go to for amazing architecture besides Greece and Rome…
St. Petersburg had some great buildings, that is for sure.
