St Petersburg Russia

Does anyone know what this building is, I never got the chance to find out, I love the contrast of building versus the sky

I'm not always able to post or comment due to work commitments but I will try my best
Have Fun

Just bought a new Canon EOS 40D with the EFS 17 - 85 lens. Can't wait to put it through its paces

Next few photos: Had a pub discussion with Mike from Staffordshire about the weather and it's effect on our photography. He said why not try some people photography, seems like a good idea so I have. Also discussed local area photography, things we take for granted everyday, so after the people photos I will be posting local area photos, they will all be up to date, I throw you a challenge Mike, get that camera out and working.

A beautifully refurbished church! I'm glad the Russians take it seriously and restore many of the churches and monastries, which are treasure houses in Russia.

A very good picture! Sorry, can't help with any info, my only visit there was a long time ago when it was still called Leningrad.... (1969) It seems to be a Russian Orthodox church, that's all I can say.
