Some say St. Petersburg is not so dark as it was depicted in “Zombietown” post.
Yes it isn’t. Here is another example of St. Petersburg.
The photos were taken in the same place in different seasons.
The place is Fontanka river of St. Petersburg.
Photos are by iNV
Tracks on the ice.
I wonder how thick the ice on the river is.
10-50 centimeters. I went on this ice.
i think the ice is so thick that you can drive a truck on it. remember the siege of leningrad in world war 2 when russians brought food and weapons over the frozen river neva…..
2Poster: Thanks for your work – but, please, post real hyperlinks to the original collection instead of just “Photos are by iNV” or smth like this. Yesterday, I wanted to see more photos, made by the author of “Zombietown” and had to conduct a real investigation
And, I think, it is quite a common wish.
looks pretty bleak year-round…
Beautiful images. I would like to be there.
Beautiful work, reminds my of my time back in Piter where I lived a block from these pictures. And the ice is very thick, I once saw tire tracks in one of these canals. And I second the call for links to the original collection.
Ahhh, by the way – this very photos are quite BAD. Olympus X100 isn’t a good camera anyway – and look at least to a white balance
((
Not the best photos of SPb, but enough to make me miss it…
Great pictures! I really wish to go there (or at least some other part of Russia) some time.
Too bad about those cables crossing all over the river. It’s the price of progress.
diego, these cables are not crossinng all the river – they just go along the bridge, which these photos are taken from.
[...] I put a couple new links up last night to some new blogs, and here is a good example of why. English Russia has put up a series of photos , and here are his words describing them: [...]
Hey, it`s 5mins from my home
(when i was living in St.Petersburg) great fotos thanks 
When you lived there were there any tourist boats on the river? Seems like it would be a beautiful way to see the city.
these pics are really dark but can’t dark be beautiful? imho, St. Petersburg is one of the most magnificent cities in the world? in any weather…
