Night views when the bridges start to open |
|
still closed (Resurrection Church in background) The timetable when bridges do open is printed in the yellow pages Strelka, Admirality in background This photo looks north and depicts the white night. All other photos look south since we were standing on the north side of the river. We did not go to the south side because we didn't want to wait for their closure to go home. The decorative lighting of the bridges was put in place just before the 300 year anniversary (2003) The TV tower got its lighting in 2003 it is 3:35 |
The assortment of products was simply amazing, almost more than we in Germany get. Cheese from Germany was the cheapest, so we bought that. Nuts from the southern hemisphere (Australia), not offered in Germany during the summer. Milk (Russian) was only slightly cheaper than in Germany, but for natives therefore pretty expensive |
