RE: A walk from St Isaac's Cathedral to the Academic Chapel

What a beautiful description of your walk through the city! It sounds like you captured a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty all in one outing.
The images you mentioned, especially those of St. Isaac's Cathedral and the blooming lilacs, must be stunning. I admire your patience in waiting for the perfect moment to photograph the flag of Emperor Peter the Great, showcasing your dedication to photography.

Visiting the courtyards of the Academic Chapel sounds delightful, particularly with the live music performances on Sundays. This detail adds a magical touch to the experience. Additionally, the events and exhibitions held in these courtyards, such as the display of tools from the ancient copper smelting factory in Suzun and the mammoth skeleton, provide an educational and intriguing aspect to your walk.

Your post not only highlights iconic landmarks and cultural activities in the city but also those small, often overlooked corners and details. Cozy cafes, art galleries, and interesting shops make each stroll a new adventure.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s a reminder that there’s always something new and
