wednesday walk at St.Petersburg

This is a post to go with WednesdayWalk challenge by @tattoodjay

All pictures taken by me. I present recent photos from this week walks across a few central streets of St.Petersburg.

Two smokers on the streets (the left one - boy or girl? I am not sure!) Notable thing why I took this scene into notice, and did this shot - is the posters visible at the background, promoting gigs... rather a strange place for the posters. Curious about why they are sitting there. maybe those guys job is putting the posters around the city and they just took a smoking break? Questions and no answers! The photo do not give them. But its still a look at the city life, isnt it?

Folks are coming off the Tube. Most of them take off their masks as soon as they step outside of the doors.

The Wall.

Lunch time. Pigeons are on their duty, too.

Exchange. What if thats the key to the flat, where some serious money are kept?

An old woman bought a mask and checks in a mirror hanging next to her how it fits with her hat and in general - do I look good in it?
Старая женщина купила маску и проверяет в висящем рядом зеркальце, как она подходит к ее шапочке и вообще - хорошо ли я выгляжу в ней?

Lady in red. Red and black = old classic eye catcher. Time-tested!

A young, smiling flower girl... well, maybe not so young and smily... but flowers are in the place, for sure... not a bid demand.

'No bullshit' - perhaps non-Russian-speaking readers will have a hard time understanding the meaning of this appeal. I was standing taking pictures of a beautiful door in an old house when the tenant opened it, and I managed to go into the front room and examine the interior of the staircase, and there I saw this inscription. Loosely translated, I think it means "be less rude, don't be rude."
'Не быдлить' - пожалуй, не русскоязычным читателям будет трудно понять смысл этого обращения. Я стоял фотографируя красивую дверь в старинном доме, когда ее открыл жилец, и мне удалось зайти в парадную и осмотреть интерьер лестницы, там я и увидел эту надпись. В вольном переводе, думаю, она означает "будьте менее грубыми, не хамите".

This is a notable example of street art. Such signs are posted on many buildings and draw the attention of pedestrians to dangerous places, where particularly large icicles threaten to fall from the roof onto pedestrians' heads, saying, "Watch where you're going. But. Someone's naughty hands carefully edited this ad, adding a sticker on the finger with the image of a mushroom... which changed the meaning of the ad in a very, very big way... I just couldn't get past it!
Любопытный образец стрит-арта. Такие объявления расклеены на многих домах, и обращают внимание пешеходов на опасные места, где особенно большие сосульки угрожают упасть с крыши на головы пешеходов - мол, смотрите куда идёте. Но. Данное объявление чьи-то шаловливые руки заботливо отредактировали, добавив на палец стикер с изображением гриба... отчего смысл объявления сильно, очень сильно поменялся... я просто не мог пройти мимо!

Thanks for walking with me, see you next time! / Надеюсь, вам было приятно прогуляться со мной по улицам Петербурга!

А ведь немало людей в масках по дороге встретилось. Причём у некоторых даже нос закрыт.

PS. Мне кажется, зря ты назвал даму в берете старой. Лицо на фотографии не особо видно, но одета она на 40+.

я близко не подходил, а зрение у меня плохое. молодой барышней она точно не выглядела. может и 45. может. да вообще полно людей в масках. но в метро много и без. снимают уже на эскалаторе, лишь проходя турникет. Таня, я скоро буду готов гулять, погоды уже позволяют, загрузка на работе... тоже! может быть, после первой выдачи мне в конторе каких-нибудь грошей, встретимся? как ты насчет Петроградки?

I noticed the nails, too! and I am strongly in doubts: is this such an original male person... or is it such a masculine female hehe.

;)

I think it is just a masculine way of clothing of a female person :) But it is just a guess heheheh.. but there is the doubt yes, why would she care of her nails then?
