Today started as a cloudy grey day, which turned into a long annoying rain. I managed to harvest some captures anyway, even though by the end I was hiding the camera beneath my leather coat. How could I miss and skip another #WednesdayWalk? No way! I didnt borrow umbrella with me. Instead of that, I was holding my Canon 5D full-frame camera, and 150mm macro lens, which of course is not an ideal solution for streetphoto, but as I stumble upon mushrooms all around a lot, I dont change recently the macro lens to anything else at all.
So, some streetphoto from non-parade St.Petersburg for #WednesdayWalk challenge by 
Kidz relaxing and playing at school yard after their lessons.
What is unusual about this quite usual young Russian lady? She wears no mask...
The man goes out of the store with a block of cigarets. he might filled up his stock for a week or few. A makeshift seasonal grocery store for watermelons is seen at the background. The most typical feature of the Autumn season here.
A scooter courier of Yandex Food Delivery Service, in his distinctive yellow uniform, having a spare minute. OF COURSE, he spent it with his smartphone and a cigarette.
Municipal folks clean bus station from a mass of ads and stickers.
I like it a lot when leaves arent swept from ther streets and lawns!
A girl is playing frisby with her father at a playing ground. I noticed her schoolbag at the bench, so probably they were going back home from school, same as we. And this little physical activity is a best way to relax from studies, before venturing into doing of a homework.
Intresting scene that left unexplained to me. I wish I had time to come up and ask what that boy was carrying. There might be some intresting story befind those tools, definitely not a simple toy sword! Something bizarre and unique. Unfortunately I was in a rush and took the pic across the road, had no time for building any communication at all..
The conductor in the tram. She had a very sad, weared out look; after 10 minutes of eye contact, I broke down and took a picture of her. Despite the very poor lighting, to my surprise, the shot came out well.
An unusual scooter driver.
Lady under rain assumably going to somebody's birthday party, with these balls and a boxed present.
This one is my trophey for the cool #AlphabetHunt challenge I am taking part in. Current week has the letter 'V', so I am looking after intresting stuff starting from letter V. This is what I've got today. Not sure yet if it will go to the final post or not -- thats always a last-minute decisions.
And the last one, truly a highlight of the day for me.
I captured this in my own yard, when I almost came home. I even had to unholster my camera back from the rucksack, as the scene I witnessed was shiny brilliant! This man is collecting the rain water, to use it further for hands-washing! "The economy must be economical!" (с)
f--g brilliant, isnt it? Ok, that was the last one.
Thanks for walking with mee, see you next time.
Надеюсь, вам было приятно прогуляться со мной по улицам Петербурга!
