Mary--your photos of your trip just seem to get better and better! What glorious architecture; every view must have been photogenic! One can easily see elaborate dress of silk & lace, & bewigged gentleman strolling down these magnificent hallways.A wonderful tour--you are sure to have a feature soon.--Nancy.

Hi, what a great album, it reminds me of the castle of Luwig the Mad in Bavaria. You really captured the beauty of this magnificant place. Thanks! Trudy-Oregon

Hi Mary, I must congratulate you on your trip, on these pictures and on their documentation. This is a great album and I dare say that I smell a feature in the not too distant future. I love the palace, but my favorite has to be Resurrection Cathedral. What a piece of architecture! I love those domes and you captured them and the facade in exquisite detail. St Isaac’s Cathedral is beautiful too, but a bit less exotic to my western eyes. Thanks for bringing these jewels to us and thanks for your kind words on my "Illusions" album. Greetings from Florida, Paul. P.S. I always knew that St. Petersburg was beautiful, but I just didn't know that it was this beautiful.

Hi Mary. My favorite part of this album is the Catherine's Palace section. It is magnificent. There's is no shortage of gold or at least gold plate.Wow!!Your whole trip must have been an experience to never forget. I'll come back and see some more as you add it. Hugs mate Al..

Hi. Thanks for the comments on my album of the Russian River Cruise. Yes, we stayed on the boat the whole time. The small towns you see on the way are easily visited on the included shore excursions. In the 2 big cities, the docks are not near the center but that is easily overcome. You can go on the ship's excursions or if you've already seen a particular site, you can go on your own or hire a guide. I recommend it as the cheapest and easiest and most relaxing way to see a lot of Russia. Regards, Mary
