Hello my friends! Again came the weekend. Winter in all its glory and it seems that it has come for a long time in our land.
Cyclone brought a lot of snow and frost does not leave our region.
But today I was able to see a little winter sun. The sun is a rare visitor to the North-West of Russia. In winter it is generally rare. All shades of gray-this is our usual palette.
But today I was lucky. It's a nice sight. All the photos today, this is what I see around. I hope You will enjoy the viewing.
The sun is only slightly identified himself behind the heavy snow clouds. But his rays are trying to break through the snow curtain.
Winter day is very short, but we like to take a walk for at least a couple of hours. I pass some familiar places which I have already told earlier.
- The links below the photos point to posts where I have previously described various attractions in more detail.
You may have already seen photos of some places but at other times of the year. I also love to watch the changing of the seasons.
For example, there, far away on the shore of the lake, you can see the sky-blue building, which I mentioned earlier. This is the Grotto music pavilion. This place looked different in the fall.

There in the distance we see now snow-covered pavilion "Imperial Turkish baths" . This Museum is only open in summer. Now we see everything under a layer of snow.
In the spring it was very bright and memorable.
Then we decided to walk to the place where the hanging gardens. This is an interesting architectural solution. In the summer there are a lot of plants and it lives up to its name .
Cold winter day. It will last a long time. We all need to survive this winter. Especially difficult to account for the inhabitants of parks and squares.
Squirrels and birds are in constant search of food. We met a lot of feeders located all over the Park.
Now it's time for us to go home. I showed you my walk today. That's all I saw around. I hope You found it interesting. I wish everyone a good weekend. See you soon!
Location: Saint Petersburg, Russia, State Museum-reserve Tsarskoye Selo

Thank you for Your attention and Your visit. I appreciate Your feedback and comments.
This is so beautiful @madlenfox! You'd never know that it is the same place. It looks so different and you can hardly tell that the Turkish bathes are located on a lake. Your photography is beautiful. I love the arches!
Thank you,@rebeccaryan. This is a really beautiful Park. I love him very much. It was created in the 18th century. Until now, it is a favorite place to visit citizens and guests of our city. My family is no exception. I'm glad you found some time to look at him. Thank You!
The skies may be gray most of the time. But your human spirit keeps the light on for all that will see.
You have posted such beautiful photos for us to see.
I am glad that Steemit has provided for us a place to meet and to see.
Thank you
Francis
Your score always means a lot to me. We are on different continents, we have different natural conditions. But thanks to Steemit it we have the opportunity to share our walks and stories every day. Thank you, Francis, for your support.
oh god this is a very nice photo. i love to see the sunset in winter. thanks brother I love with your photos.
Thank you @stasyaphotographer. I'm glad you liked my pictures. The sunset is always a beautiful sight. I like to make such shots when there is such opportunity.
You always surprise us with new views on your city. I think it's a beautiful hard to live environment and it must have it's own survival rules that make you be aware of the dangers hidden on all the beauty surrounding you.
Must be a personallity sculptor. I think it's a kind of magic what climate brings to your place that pleases and frightens at the same time.
Thanks so much Madlen for your sharings ;)
Of course, we are responsible for the preservation of all these architectural monuments, for this Park with a century of history, for all cultural values that have reached us from previous generations. Thank You!
Very nice bridge of stones)
Yes, it has been preserved in its original form. Thank you for Your visit.

Always welcome @cullyguy
