Sunday afternoon on the Neva

It seemed a shame -- for all of a minute or so -- that we had such beautiful weather in St Petersburg and I'd spent the entire day inside a museum. I can see beautiful summer skies in New York after all, but I can't see the Hermitage there, so I think I made the right choice. But here's a picture of the clever people who remained outdoors -- this is the Peter and Paul cathedral, in the fortress across the river from the Winter Palace.

Here's another picture where you can really see the bell tower.
