I agree, Russian and generally speaking east countries have got a bunch of gorgeous places.
I really like this one and I believe I'll download to my desktop as fave.

Thanks for giving us this beautiful view of the canal leading to the palace. This is perhaps the most elegant of the six palaces around Peter. The grounds alone are incredible to behold. Well done.
That is cool. It looks just like it did when I was there. (That sounds dumb, but I do feel almost like I'm just remembering what it looked like, rather than seeing it in a photo.) It was kind of cloudy that day too.
