Hello from Saint-Petersburg!

I was in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, in the end of June, during white nights time. White nights is a northern thing, places at 60 degrees latitude or closer to pole have it.

Nights are bright, no darkness, people are walking all night and have fun. And in Saint-Petersburg there are bridges that open at night to let ships go. Here is the opening and how people gather to see it. It's always magical somehow, you need to be there. This is what I captured

A Palace Square

This is a new fun in Russia when people launch an air balloon shaped as heart. Just need to fire it, then it will be a love balloon.

I will post more in replies, just one fisheye now
