One of the most beautiful palaces in Europe lies a few miles southwest of St. Petersburg, Russia. While we may have pictures of the icy siege of Leningrad burned into our memories, it should be remembered that Russian summers may be a beautiful as Russian winters are cold.

The canal beyond the fountain leads to open water and the Bay of Finland.

Enjoy.
