The golden hour is usually followed by the blue hour. What is blue hour? Usually it is replaced by a dark night. But Leningrad is a special city. In June, the blue hour gives way to the white night. There is even a holiday of white nights - "Scarlet Sails".
The whitest night is on the summer solstice. But we still have a long way to go in the photo. And although the night is "white", it is dark enough. You can, of course, brighten the photo with post-processing, but we will not do this. Darkness not only hides, but also shows something. Let's see what the darkness shows.
During the day you will not see such a picture. You may not even notice this majestic lion. But now it's the king of the night. Not only the king of beasts...
As you can see, the Neva embankment is quite crowded. Citizens and tourists love to watch the drawing of bridges in the white night.
You will not believe it, but it was in this place that I worked as a... janitor 🤣 😂😅. Yes, yes, when I was a cadet in the Admiralty, I cleaned up this territory, because it was assigned by the city to our school.
From this lion, tired during the day, we will go to another memorial sculpture. To do this, we need to go to the Senate Square. There were also a lot of people here, but most were sitting on the grass.
Previously, this behavior was unacceptable, but times are changing.
And here is the monument. Of course, you recognized him, he is often used as a symbol of the city and Peter 1 is considered the founder of Leningrad ... although he did not lay the first stone in 1703 ... and the city was on this site long before that date ... but that's another story .
