Petrodvorets, St. Petersburg, Russia, 23 July 2007
Upper gardens at Petrodvorets (Peter's Palace).
Upper gardens.
One end of the palace building; the other end was a mirror image.
View of the Grand Cascade from the palace, looking out towards the Bay of Finland.
One of the many statues in the fountains.
This fountain had multiple duck figures and one dog, who chased the ducks around and around as the fountain rotated.
Looking up at the Grand Cascade from the lower level.
Orangery in the lower gardens; there were actually orange trees growing inside.
Wading in the Bay of Finland at the edge of the lower gardens. The dock in the distance is where the boats go to and from downtown St. Petersburg.
