A taste of pictures to come
This is me, last January, standing on the Neva river. Normally it looks something like this. In winter it freezes over, and I was told that you could walk across it. Being the idiot that I am, an Aussie friend and I decided to try. We inched our way, fearing that the next step would send us plunging into it's depths. We got halfway when we saw this broken path (behind me). We threw some snowballs in, which quickly melted. I was up for trying to walk across anyways, but my friend forcefully held me back :)
The skyline behind me contains some of Piter's most famous landmarks. The big green building on the left is the Hermitage, the yellow building with the spire is the Admiralty, the Russian Naval Academy; and the golden doe sits atop St. Issac's Cathedral.

Posted by: Bugmaster at October 21, 2004 11:47 PMIt's been there for about a year now, and it sometimes emanates strange noises. But it's ok, the government assures us that everything is normal.
Either that or it's a snowflake.
