Haven’t been there for more than 2 years, but found it almost the same as it was when we left it.
Took some pictures, very little indeed (we noticed a correlation between number of of pictures taken and holiday quality – the less pictures the better holiday was), but those we’ve got display northern autumn as it’s meant to be.

Sorry, no postcard views – there are already plenty of them in internet. Moreover, most of these pictures were taken on mobile phone.

Suburb of Saint-Petersburg

This is the typical suburb up there. Thanks to dry weather, these trees will keep their colorful appearance for some time, until snow starts.

Opposite that, historical center has a little bit more urban outlook. It does not look abandoned and depressing at all – it is simply one of those streets with little to none traffic where there is nothing interesting for bargain hunters.

Inside the historical center of SPb

This is the same street, but a little bit further. Apart from 17 century buildings, nothing interesting.

Inside the historical center of SPb

That’s just awesome. Birch trees waiting for winter to come. Quiet and calm. And wet and sometimes cold. But still incredibly beautiful. Wallpapers with pictures like this were very popular once.
