These are great. Remind me of photos my parents took when they first got married… not of Leningrad, though.
Does anyone know if this was taken from another website? There’s no link, besides a google map. I’m curious if there’s more info, I wonder where the tourists are from.
Hi, it’s from here http://humus.livejournal.com/2433214.html#cutid1
Great time-travel. Thanks!

Everything looks so much calmer
Still looks pretty much the same now… except for a LOT more private vehicles and shops.
The year 19605?
Oh man a zero more.Are you a vampire?
