Summer Vibes in a Big City, or small walk around the pond (10 street photo)

(Edited)

This is a post to go with #WednesdayWalk challenge by @tattoodjay

Every city dweller loves to lay back on a soft emerald grass and bask in the sun. Here at St.Petersburg we are not spoiled by an abundance of sunny days :)

The city has a lot of parks to spend a leizure day on weekend. This is the one located right in the historical center of the city named 'Yussupovsky Park, it is tine and all the drive goes about the single pond and the walking alleys around it. Cycling is strictly prohibited in this area. Happily, on that day in June I left my bike at come... but not the camera, of course! The vibes around the pond were excellent, I caught some very pleasurable #streetphoto captures and really would not want to go away from that spot.

Hope you enjoy this little walk with me. I selected 10 photos to present today.

Thanks for the walk - I really enjoyed it. And that 2nd photo - WOW! Imagine having the vision all those years ago to create a stunning landscape from a few saplings. Of course, it takes a great photographer to frame it so beautifully! 🖼️😀

The place was filled with serenity - wherever I pointed the camera, beautiful cityscapes were waiting for me. It was a nice ending of a day. !BEER

Grazie! the picnic would be great if a laptop would be added to it, or an easel with watercolors or oil paints, or a fishing rod with cats waiting for a fresh fish :) I'm glad you enjoyed my cityscapes. Lets share Hive !BEER

Oh, I wish the summer vibes over here would be that green and refreshing as in St.Petersburg 🤩

Ha... it is too much rains here. (Besides that it was so cold today that my hands froze on the bike handlebars even with gloves put on - looks like the
autumn season had started today. Well, at least it will be true for a while).
But on the other side, yeah, it is still green, a lot of deep green ocean all around. If I were a peasant, I would highly appreciate it. But in addition to all this water, the sun is sorely missing from the sky... I am ready to trade for it!

Hello there! Glad to notice you are more okay than me, judging by your travel stories 😃 and your daughters doing pretty well! We have got an addition to our family recently - young ginger kitten brighten our days now.

Хорошо вам, что можно так сидеть или валяться прямо на траве. У нас в городе если так в парке сел, то потом проверяйся на наличие клещей 😬

ОГО. прямо в городе?.. ужас какой вы рассказываете.
а разве с ними нельзя никак побороться, кикнуть обратно в поля и леса как-нибудь. ну, там, толстым слоем ДДТ все посыпать?

Раньше парки обрабатывали от них, а сейчас никто ничего не делает. Весной бывает что по 1000 человек в неделю в пункты серопрофилактики обращаются. У нас с клещами реально эпидемия какая-то.

The greenery looks so vibrant and beautiful, I wouldn't mind spending the whole day here if my schedule permits between reading a book, drawing a few sketches and trying my hand out with fishing :)
