St. Petersburg, Fontanka river

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.

      Tracks on the ice.

      I wonder how thick the ice on the river is.

    2. iNV says:

      10-50 centimeters. I went on this ice.

    3. katjusha says:

      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.

    5. It’s strange to think that someone can see these pictures as “not dark.” Maybe only a Russian can see them that way, probably to anyone else they are frightfully dark and bleak. And if there are others that are even more dark, that is very terrifying.

    6. looks pretty bleak year-round…

    7. 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.

      oh my god, La Russophobe has found this site too. we’re gonna be reading lots of anti-russian propaganda from now :)

    10. White_Wyrm says:

      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 :-(((

    11. Megan says:

      Not the best photos of SPb, but enough to make me miss it…

      2 La Russophobe:

      You can kiss my Russian ass, bitch! What the f*** do you know about St-Petersburg and Russia?! Your cheap-ass propaganda is useless, nobody gives a shit about your blog and comments your stupid articles! Consider a career change, slut!

    13. diego says:

      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.

    14. White_Wyrm says:

      diego, these cables are not crossinng all the river - they just go along the bridge, which these photos are taken from.

      He knows that we are sitting here drunk in ear-flaps caps, drinking vodka, hugging a brown bear and playing balalayka, thinking over how to destroy his lovely America at the same time. He had seen it in some Americn movie and American movies that can’t lie, did you know, dude! :)
