Photographer’s Note

First big water tower in St-Petersburg was built in year 1861; it's 53 meters high and designed as a medieval castle.
Nowadays there are Museum of Water in it; quite a nice museum, depicting different aspects of water in the life of a human.
Weather was bad, of course, but it's November in the city which stands on 60-th parallel - parallel of a Southern Greenland, so what do one can expect?

Hallo from wet, grey and mild (14°C) Germany!
A water tower like a castle - incredible, and somehow also impressive. A functional building with a really interesting and "fancy" architecture. Worth-seeing and worth-showing!
The sky - well, it is as it is...it's November! ;-)
Greetings!

Hello Uhu,

This must have been an impressive water tower once..!
And today an interesting museum of water, what a worthy conversion...
You capture the details in the building very well, fairly good colours on a grey day..!

Greetings,
