Re: New one, from Russia

The Above pic has two Rostral Columns, studded with ships' prows, served as oil-fired navigation beacons in the 1800s (on some public holidays gas torches are still lit on them) by Anton & the Below pic is The historical ship Aurora across from the Rostal Columns.

The Above, the Famous Hermitage Museum by Anton & the Below the other side of the Hermitage by SF.
