St Petersburg In January

ST. PETERSBURG IN JANUARY Frozen stillness of canals: Venice in aspic. Golden-domed church...... Heaven’s bulbs auric. Palaces everywhere - History majestic.

A beautiful description of the city, Syd. When I first saw the title, I thought you might be writing about St. Petersburg, FL, but this was a pleasant surprise. Maybe one day I'll have a chance to visit the place you describe. Love, Carolyn

HI, Sydney, that is cool if you got to see St.Petersburg. That is a place I sure never got to see yet! Luv, Andrea

A great description in so few words if you are referring to the city in Russia and not the city in Florida.
