Thank you! This is the statue of Amor and Psyche in the Summer Garden (the oldest garden in St.Petersburg). This garden was poetized by every major Russian poet. Even now poetry readings and presentations are held there. This place is magical. I'm so glad that you like this taiga.

Thank you! This is a very small garden but it is magical. One part of this garden is arranged in a classical style and decorated with statues of ancient gods and heroes and the other is arranged in a landscape style and has a pond which houses a pair of swans. The tradition to have swans in the garden goes back to the 18-th century. The garden is situated in the heart of the 5 million city but when you enter the gate you are on another planet.
