I couldn't get any closer to this church because the girl I was with started crying because it was so cold. We exited a bus in -25 weather and there was a strong breeze, making it infinitely worse. This was the best I could do before hustling her into the closest shop we could find

Make a right turn, walk for about 50 meters, and my "home" where I have the fondest of memories...

Thanks groovlstk

I'm going there in May.  I certainly hope for warmer weather.

brrr...just SEEING your pics froze me groov!  I can't believe I'm going to Ukriane next week--i hope it will be much warmer there than St. Pete was for you! :-)

Great pictures, they bring back fond memories for me.  Micheal - I feel for you on one hand, but you are really lucky on the other hand, so a little cold weather will not bug you one bit I am sure.   The payoff is too great !

Let me know when you go back, I'll join you. No joke. I love that place. If I could figure how to downsize my photos I would show them also.
