Girls, money and beggars.

I was asked for money by girls (neither prostitutes or homeless) on the street. It is the second time this happens in Saint-Petersburg. In the West, only junkies and beggars do that. I do not know what to think of that.

Saint-Petersburg evenings.

Along the Neva, next to the Dvortcoviy bridge, Saint-Petersburg, Russia, June 26th 2006, 22:51

There is something fascinating, almost hypnotic about summer evenings in Saint-Petersburg. The neverending daylight gives a feeling of peace. One feels so relaxed strolling alongside the Neva.
