The Palace Park, a photo from Saint Petersburg, Northwest

Photographer's Note

St.Petersburg - Gatchina - The Palace Park

My granny recently moved to the lovely small town, Gatchina, that is situated 40 km away from St.Petersburg. Last weekend I explored surroundings of Gatchina and found a lot of beautiful places.

The Palace Park was created at the end of the 18th centure by the favorite of the Empress Catherine II Count Grigory Orlov. It's amazing place with bright verdure and crystal lakes.

Changes to the pic: I croped a pic a little bit and changed a frame - now it looks more finished in my point of view.

Beautiful, calm landscape. I like the reflection and the sky. I wonder if the frame at the bottom shouldn't also be black. But still it is good work. Greetings

Hello Olga,
I remember this photo and wrote short note, some reason not there now.Howerver....
Like the shades of green in the trees, also the whisps of white clouds and reflections on the water. Nice area to walk.
I hope both yourself and Granny enjoy the summer weather.
Not really too much I like the frame, just my opinion so no offence.
Regards Rob.
