angels



Sankt-Peterburg is a constant amazement, inside and out. Much of its beauty only recently re-emerging into public view.



Most of the churches are desanctified, though. There isn't much religion here, but I beleive you can hear mass at St Catherines.



Always a beautiful face everywhere you look, angels on the street and in the air.



and angels buying ballet tickets, with their mothers. How lovely he is. Look at that face, no wonder mothers so love their sons.
I miss mine.

Great to hear from you fifi! The photos are beautiful.

Yes, mothers love their sons, and that boy is a real cutie.

Hope you can chat to your children on the phone and ease some of your yearning.

Beautiful photos ... And such pithy and insightful observations about Russia.

I'm sorry you are so far from home missing your son, but you'll be back in no time.

hi fifi, looks like you are seeing some beautiful places and people.
everyone in the photo's look pretty rugged up, - doesn't appear to be quite as warm and sunny as sydney.

no doubt your son misses you too!
