Walk along the Neva embankment near the Foundry Bridge (St. Petersburg)

in #travel6 years ago

A few days ago I visited the city of St. Petersburg. I had a lot of things during this trip and I did not take a camera with me.

But suddenly I got some time and I walked along the embankment of the Neva River. I could not help taking photos of this beautiful city. And today I want to share these photos.

When I walked along the embankment, a complex of buildings on the other side rushed into my eyes. Some of them are hotels. And in the foreground on this photo you can see the Foundry Bridge. This bridge is known for including the fact that it is built through the deepest place of the Neva, where the depths reach 24 meters.

As I walked along the shore, a yacht swam under the bridge, which adorned the view of the bridge and the hotel complex.

Close to one can see what massive pillars this bridge has. Particularly near. The fact is that this bridge is a drawbridge. Its canvas rises in order to allow passage to the ships. And the lifting gears are in this pillar.

After the bridge I took a walk not far, because the time of my walk was over and it was necessary to go on business. Here I made some more photos.

At the first was again a hotel complex.

On the second photo you can see a seagull on the granite curb of the embankment. There are a lot of gulls here and they watch tourists all the time in the hope of getting some food.

On the third photo you can see one of the main sights of the city - the Peter and Paul Fortress. To be precise, the photo shows the Trinity Bridge, due to which the spire of the Peter and Paul Cathedral, which is located in the Peter and Paul Fortress, is looking out.

This is the end of my walk. And as a bonus, I want to show a photo I made at the same place the evening of the previous day during sunset.
