The main channel leading to the palace
Obligatory Otophoto
Church and state!
(hey, they are separate)
The Peterhof palace in all its glory.
The main fountain cascade.

The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

Hay Russia.
Oh the innuendos...
Oto pondering the meaning of life over the pond.
Swans and geese.
People observing swans and geese.
That kid nearly fell in shortly after the photo

Drainage from the fountains
"Sun" fountain
Oto in the mushroom
Peter the Great
He founded this place, but it wasn't quite as lavish yet in his day. Catherine II was behind most of the excesses I think.
Sneaking up on a small duck.
Note the ridiculously fake trees in the background.

Marly [yarly] Palace.
Marly Palace from decorative ruins.
Ominous clouds on the gulf.
Oto sneaking past ominous clouds.
I wonder what's with that smoke?
(probably a major fire somewhere in the city, can't tell. It's not a factory)
Helipad on which George Bush landed 2 days before we came here as part of the G8 summit.

Back to going-home, from my perspective...
If you excuse the bend, that's the Konstantinovsky Palace where the G8 summit took place two days earlier.
Wet parking lot.
Tram car on the outskirts of the city.
A memorial marking the south-western front line of the Leningrad Siege that lasted for 900 days between 1941-1944, resulting in over a million dead, mostly civilians.

Another day back in town…
Church.
Street.
...I don't know what happened there!
Street in central St. Petersburg.
Heading on another trip now, to the Artillery Museum.
Easy to tell which museum that is indeed.
A fairly modern command vehicle at the museum entrance.

At the Artillery Museum.
Peter and Paul Fortress, city's oldest building, in the background.
Oldschool guns.
More oldschool guns.
Some of these seem more like artworks than weapons:

Kirill getting familiar with WWI-era gun:
A surprisingly modern item: T-80 main battle tank
Staring down a big barrel!
SA-2 missile, same kind that shot down Gary Powers
A self-propelled artillery gun
