Greetings, Hiveans! My pleasure to invite you for a little walk across the St.Petersburg railway. I went to meet a friend, the weather was nice and I took the chance to point camera at the life going on.

Two cityscapes from St.Petersburg: at the central street and in the unusual yard. (I was enjoying my wide angle lens on that day). I decided these go better as #monochrome. What do you think? Два городских

This Wednesday, my family decided to take a break from the dull village lifestyle. We boarded the train and went to the nearest market town, Vyritsa. We wanted to unwind, dine at a restaurant, reminisce
