Entry to the garden near Smolny from Proletarskoy diktatury square
The most known place in Saint Petersburg (Former Leningrad) for all soviet people is Smolny. It used to be a Smolny Institute of Noble Maidens, but Smolny is a more clear and more revolutionary name :) I did not dare to take pictures near the building because there were a lot of security guards as the building is governmental. I had taken a picture near the entry to the garden near Smolny and I think the result is quite good. Although the declining sun makes Smolny too light, it can also be seen deep in the alley.
