So, just for those of you who don't know SPB well, here are some summer pics.... first two are the Neva, from the Peter Paul fortress, the other is a "white nights" photo taken in the middle of the night, in June, at one of the thousand lakes (you always get the whole place to yourself!) about an hour north of the city,,,,,,. Memories of endless days of shashlik, skinny-dipping in lakes and being bitten to crap by mosquitoes,......!

Another chilly looking one of the river...... New Year's message on Peter and Paul fortress...... And here is one of the Mars Field, the park which has the eternal flame monument to the WWII dead,,,,,, Hope that stirs a little nostalgia for those of you not over here! Now I am going to try and thaw out,,,,,,,,
