Hello Again from St PetersburgCopy from this topic in the welcome section. -Webmaster action.-
You are all correct in thinking the city is beautiful, which is one of the many reasons I moved from California 7.5 years ago after about 100 visits over 34 year. I visited a lot of countries, always interested in the details of the culture rather than tourism or sightseeing. So far the total is 86 countries but I imagine that total will not increase much, mostly due to having a more restricted income now. I am more interested in every day scenes on my walks than the spectacular cathedrals and palaces mostly because I have seen those probably thousands of times. More typical walking around snap shots are like this, the first shot with a new lens, hand held 200mm.
The origins of the city starting in 1703.
