in search of a spring (wednesday walk at St.Petersburg)

(Edited)

This is the post to go with @tattoodjay's #wednesdaywalk fun challenge.
Location: St.Petersburg, Russia.
This time images were taken just with my iphon 4 camera!

The current situation does not encourage the reckless active use of public transport, no way. It’s better to stay at home. But it’s even more better to walk, breathe in the fresh air, saturate yourself with oxygen and increase your immunity (which is especially beneficial, bearing in mind this very situation).

I could say, "...and that's why I went for a walk". But that would not be true ... I didn’t even take the camera with me - I just had some business (I made a visit to my osteopath doctor). But the entire backward trip from the city center to my suburb area, I walked on foot, avoiding public transport. Happily, I had the sun as my companion.

And here is what I can share ...

The Moscow Triumph Gates (1838) is one of my fave subjects to shoot. A special fun is to find a new angle / point of view each time.

I confess to you, I rarely stopped at this building to take a closer look -- more often I pass it by cycling, or by bus. This is an old Soviet wagon-building plant. Of course, it do not produce any cars currently; the only thing it does, is renting its real estate to other enterprises ...

The front door is decorated with these medals and orders, which the plant was awarded during the Soviet era. They look so vintage and sympatico... I decided I have to come there with a dedicated macro lens to take a good shots of it.

Passing one of the yards, I saw a visible and intense signs of the spring-already-have-come.

I stopped and slipped the yard and enjoyed the visions of green.

And there I discovered another (new to me) type of a ready-made cardboard folded bird-feeder -- very sympatico! The children leaving in this yard do care about our feathered friends.

You have a nice tire full of snowdrop flowers. I saw some today as well. We must have a similar climate here.

I like that first shot with the golden light shining through, and I like the last shot - who could resist this smile? 😉
Spring is coming and the first flowers are growing beautifully - I do hope that everything is getting better soon and we can enjoy the Spring after these gray Winter months.

Take care and stay safe and healthy my friend 😊

I would be quite !DERANGED if I didn't give you a !BEER and a !COFFEEA for this $trdo post 😉

You are welcome my friend 🙂
I think in the next time I also will take more macros and other detail photos, because I will try to stay closer to my family and visit only places where I know I'll be alone.

Stay safe and healthy.

A !BEER has to be cold and a !COFFEEA has to be hot to taste good and not !DERANGED 😉
