зимний дворец

зимний дворец - winter palace.

my dream destination, 
because it is where history took place.
Lenin's October Revolution took place here in 1917,
opening the new era of Communist rule. 

but it was such a disappointment.
 i was hoping to see more of the Romanov Palace life being preserved, 
instead of artefacts from other countries.
 i guess that's why its called Winter Place Hermitage Museum 
and not Winter Palace per se. 

 Reunion with Nastya since we met 2 years ago in Novosibirsk.

 Peter the Great 

















 Palace Square 


 If i am not wrong this is the Alexandar Column 
































 i suspect this is some form of vintage mathematical instrument. 






 Classical style interior.
