Saint Petersburg December 25, 2010

Convenient busses from Baltic countries operate now. One of it I took from Tallinn.

Piter (as locals name it) is the most European city in Russia.

Almost Venice.

Or Pisa.

Final preparations for a New Year cerebration.

Icicles. It was a real disasters that year.

Condominiums found a way to solve a dangerous icicle problem, potentially unsafe areas were fenced. Including a house entrance in some places. So, brave locals were entering their homes on their own risk.
