Vasileostrovsky district of St. Petersburg is not the most picturesque and historical place. But there is an exit to the Gulf of Finland.
At first, this place seemed to me uncomfortable, faceless.
After all, there is a washed-up piece of land for a residential complex under construction.
And in general, what kind of atmosphere can there be among new buildings and construction sites in general.
Trailers for migrant workers on the background of the Lakhta center - a modern St. Petersburg view.
But after sitting on the huge granite stones-breakwaters, and watching the sunset, I fell in love with this place.
It turns out that a lot of people of different ages, gender, social status and nationality come here.
But everyone has about the same goal: to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in a beautiful place with a view of the bay.
Someone is resting culturally, someone is not very...but everyone needs the atmosphere of the place.
I have been driving across this bridge for several days to the economic forum.
And then I came to rest here and looked at the bridge from the side.
Whoever lives here will always have a beautiful view from the window.
Street photography taken with a telephoto lens also belongs to the genre, but is perceived differently.
At times I just made beautiful landscapes.
The street on the tele-lens is safer and more invisible.
But in this case, I am more invading a person's personal space when he does not see me and does not even suspect that he is being filmed.
With wide-angle, they may not pay attention to me, but at least they still see me.
When a person sees a photographer, he still implies getting into the frame and is already somehow ready for it.
And paparazzi photograph the personal lives of famous people on a telephoto lens.
And this is equal to an invasion of personal space.
But no one will express their dissatisfaction.
And you can always have time to escape.
I was surprised when I saw that people came to the shore to read books.
I saw several people with books, and not only girls, but also men.
That's what the cultural capital means!
