Yards of St.Petersburg - 14 etudes in monochrome

yards.jpg

Hello my dear friends and monochrome lovers. Today I invite you to walk with me across the courtyards of St.Petersburg's residential disticts. The city is famous with its courtyards, there is always a room for surprising finds and cool architectural landscapes; and in #monochrome they look better most of the time! So, lets go.

'Aurora' cinema theatre - the oldest which the city have preserved. Was founded back in 1914 - so, it is celebrating the 110 anniversary this year (thats why these huge '110' figures at the entrance).

A dying progression; not complete silence yet, but approaching to it.
