Trans-Siberian Railway

[nuts]

Well, sometimes, these "vanities" make u feel better and thus motivate you to shoot better.... hehehe!

it's a chrome leitz brightline finder from ebay, a korean jnk leather jacket, and elastic wrist-band-type strap from roberu japan. the first and third have nothing similar to them on the market. i later found cheaper but still nice leather half case, but too bad already bought one.

it is a moment of vanity. it still is. and of cos, it doesn't help in producing better photographs in anyway... hahaha....

....

And finally, the city of St Petersburg! My final stop before exiting to Finland!

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood, which looks really similar to St Basil cathedral in Moscow.

And the interior...

 

[nuts]

St Petersburg also host one of the largest (if not, the largest) art museums in the world, the State Hermitage Museum! I am not an arty/museum kind of person, but its truly impressive!

And then a visit to Peterhof estate and park. Famous for its fountains, but unfortunately, its operating only in summer. However, the autumn foliage in the park is awesome!

And some animals thats waay too familiar with tourists.....

And finally, some of the metro stations in St Petersburg are cool too, as I took it to my train station for my journey into Helsinki.
Thats all for my snippets of the Trans-Siberian journey! Hope you'll like it and for those planning a trip, all I can say is, GO FOR IT!

BTW, do you know if it is possible to get into Kazahstan via Onisk. It seems rather close on the map.

What/Where is Onisk??

 

[Kusum Kangguru]

Omsk perhaps?

 

[ManWearPants]

My bad. My eyes are really failing me. Omsk it is. I see from wikitravel that there is a stop inside Kazakhstan - Petrolpavl, which is not mentioned in Seat61.

BTW, the train can lay down flat and sleep one or not? seems like only got upright chairs.
