Ahh... nothing like an assignment on Sunday! Anyhoo, I've had a (mostly) pleasant jaunt in the Moskovsky Victory Park (southern part of the city), shooting ice water swimmers (they'll be the subject for another post). The weather now is decidedly un-winter-like - very warm and damp, and everything's thawing. I could write a lengthy post on how much it sucks because the ice isn't really melting down totally, but gets covered with a layer of water and thus becomes a slippery death trap for everyone careless - or desperate - enough to walk across it. That means pretty much the entire population of the city because not all of the major roads have been scraped clean, much less the park alleys.

On the ponds however, the ice remains strong enough for people to walk on and even fish.

This is what the park usually looks like in Spring - there's very little in the way of drainage, and wide swathes of it become inundated. However, it's late January for Pete's sake!.. (I can add that this month has been the one of extremities - biting cold in the first 10 days, heavy snowfall in the second 10-something days, and rapid thaw in the last few.

You can read of the park's history (which was pretty fascinating, I might add) over here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moskovsky_Victory_Park

Some kind of spiny plant growing along the bank. Looks like a dog-rose of some kind.

I've spent a few minutes photographing those berries, some of which have been apparently damaged by wildlife.

One parting glance at the largest pond and the buildings beyond before I move on to my objective... (to be concluded)

A quick intermission before I return to the weekend's stuff... This is from today. We were promised some heavy snowfall but in the end we got a much more modest showing. Especially since the temperature was around 0 C, so much of the snow was melting right after it fell - after all, the roads are usually a little warmer than soil, so it helped - and then the snow turned into rain.

A few wintertime odds and sods from St. Pete's. I know I'm not posting often enough, but I have a lot of work, and my cloud storage utility is malfunctioning, adding to the irritation. I'll get it sorted soon, tho.

The local Associated Press guy is not impressed (left side of the pic). If you're interested, he was equipped with 1DX+24-105 / 5D3+100-400 (non-II). And boots. Big rubber boots.

Sure enough, there was a big campfire lit for the people to warm. Though they could just as well stroll into the dressing room (in the background). That, however, isn't nearly as cool.

It's still snowing regularly. Feb. 3rd.

Those are not berries, and they have not been 'damaged' by 'wildlife'...
It's probably small birds which live in the park/city and even the ones who live near the city sometimes take shelter in the city during winter. They can feed on that...

Damage is what people do, not the the animals...

ontopic: A reven in the woods, from last week
The image is not cropped, is 100%. It was a very odd encounter. It had some weight to it, with all the fog and the way the bird looked perched, between those trees...

the image can't replicate 20 % of the feeling I had seeing it live

Fair point I guess. But I wouldn't retcon the post, or should I?
