The Neptune temple Photo

Photographer’s Note

Mon Repos is landscaped English park in Vyborg. "Monrepos" (French "my rest", here written in one word) is a manor house and landscaped park lying along the shoreline of the Zashchitnaya inlet of the Vyborg Bay about 80 km from St. Petersburg. The park occupies about 180 hectares of land. Between 1788, when Ludwig Heinrich von Nicolai bought it, and 1943, "Monrepos" was owned by the family of Baron Nicolai (better Nicolay). The historic core of the museum complex is a manor from early 1800's. This consists of the Main house and the Library house, monuments of wooden classical architecture, and the landscape rock park designed in the romantic style, and which remains a unique monument of gardening art.

Hello Tatiana,
A very well composed picture with beautiful natural colours.
It looks so unusual to find a white temple in those surroundings but on the other hand, it's a great location for it.
Best regards, Paul

Bonjour Tatiana,
beaucoup de soin pour prendre cette photo dont l'encadrement sombre fait bien ressortir les lumières mais aussi les couleurs.
C'est calme et reposant, le genre de scène au bord de l'eau, remplie de séduction.
Mes compliments.
Daniel.
