Cool things I've seen

Death by gutter ice, continued. Two cars with cardboard and plywood on them to protect from falling ice chunks during snow removal in Feb and March.

Parking spots are hard to come by in this city, so I can understand their reluctance to vacate.

Here's a shot I'm proud of. Watching the snow removal on Nevsky, I caught a giant chunk of ice plummeting to the sidewalk.

Here's a cool shot from Maslenitsa - the week-long celebration leading up to Lent. It's the frozen Neva river with Peter and Paul Fortress in the background and a line of people walking across the river between islands.

That same day I spotted a lonely ice fisherman. Don't think he'd had any luck yet.
