it’s simple, it’s cheap, and easy to fix. love it or hate it, it has made a mark in our global society. a symbol of russian productions, the riva has been around for some 30/40 years now, and still widely seen in different markets. in itself is a proud car though, targetted to the mass, for those who want to drive, feel the vibration, the sound, and the road.
happy birthday andre.

the peterhof letniy dvorets (peterhof summer palace) is regarded as the russian versailles. this photo was taken outside of the palace, inner gardens and outer gardens. it was actually outside of the boundaries, closer to the wild in a more natural setting. it was here where i found this other window as i observed a different perspective of the sky.

this is what i saw upon arrival into st. petersburg. the sea port definitely has a very strong identity, where i just couldn’t help but think of the hammer crossed with a sickle. such mechanical machinery which is just normal to any port was still arranged in such an orderly fashion that made it feel even stricter. strong impression indeed.
