Peterhof is located about twenty kilometers west of St. Petersburg. There is the palace-garden complex, what was was built for tsar Peter I the Great in 1714 - 1721. In front of The Grand Palace is located The Grand Cascade, what was started in 1724. It symbolizes the victory over Sweden in The Northern War (1700 - 1721). It's decorated by 37 gilded bronze statues, 64 greater fountains and 142 smaller. The central fountain shoots a 20-metre-high vertical jet of water.

Hi Robert
Klasyczny widoczek, pozornie latwy do osiagniecia. Pozornie, bo wywazyc kolory i dobrze sie ustawic, to wlasnie sa trudnosci do pokonania.
Prosze o wiecej Rosji.
Pozdr
George

Hi Robert,
Excellent capture of this beautiful garden with its wonderful golden statues complimenting the lovely blue sky and contrasting with the lush green grass. The colors are exceptionally clear and the details wonderful sharp.
Regards, Tom
