What's afoot?

We had a comfortable overnight trip by train from Moscow to St Petersburg during we slept surprisingly well. St P is hovering just below zero so we were glad of warm clothes, hats and gloves. Had a guided tour round the city before checking in to the hotel. We will see things in more detail over the next few days. This is the foot of one of the enormous figures which holds up the portico of the New Hermitage Museum building. This is looking towards Palace Square, with the green building of the Old Hermitage on the right and St Isaac's Cathedral with the golden dome in the distance.

St Petersburg

Cold, cold, cold.
All's cold, bitterly so.
Surrounded by buildings
Of magnificence,
Beauty,
Design,
And endless traffic.
