I had so much excellent #streetphoto trophies from my recent photo-walks across St.Petersburg streets. I prepared this selection like a bouqiet, pulling images from various folders.
This is not a result of single walk in one day; all of this was captured during late May/early June, and I have much more to show you soon. But can somebody tell me, how can I have 28 hours in a day to process alll those images?...
Kids playing chess at the street. Eye contact!
A little rest from cycling in the local park. An illustration to 'All the world is green' idea. ☘️
Military jet (well, its a statue in a park... on a pedestal).
Guess thats sort of an UFO?.. nope! Its an entrance to the Tube station.
Looks like abandoned building but it is not; сenter of the city, quite a fashionable residential district - not some suburb ghetto.
Successfull launch of an interplanetary Soap Bubble Starship!
A piece of semi-finished art! (students take an exam in sculpture making).
Scene at the fencing festival (the fencing teacher explains to the visitor how the parrying / parry dagger works).
Skating around the violin. (The most recent photo I took just today, in a very special yard decorated with a series of different violin statues, very artsy! I will send a proper account on this yard to the Pinmapple... oh, I wanted to say - to the Worldmappin community.)
And the last one: a circus ice-cream-man and his props / gadgets / trolleys / whatever you see in the frame, -- all is being used to boost his ice-cream sales... A lot of funny stuff to explore!

Lots of cool impressions you gave us today. Finding time to sort photos is hard, I often get easily overwhelmed.

I often get bored with doing the same; i.e. I do this in little runs and then swap to doing something different - that is my know-how. But creating cool visuals from scratch, and bringing making the images technically nice, hires and qualitative is one of the best creative activities for me. Thanks for leaving your feedback and support! 🍻 A little Hive !BEER for you. ☘️
Great to see this in Liotes @ourpick!

from @qwerrie for you. Enjoy it!Did you know that <a href='https://dcity.io/cityyou can use BEER at dCity game to buy cards to rule the world.
I'd love to visit St Pete one day, such a beautiful, old looking city with such artistic influence. Hoping to get a visa some point this year (or next year). Armenia will do for now, I guess :^)
Why no? its very tourist-friendly and has compact historic center well-preserved, with excellent museums and palaces. In case you will be planning, May to June is ideal time for a visit, July-September is still good; but wintertime is not!
Armenia, Georgia are intresting locations to visit too, no doubts!
Personally I would be excited to travel Italy... to Venice, Rome, etc. They have !PIZZA... 🥰
But till then, you can always walk across the streets with me, via the Hive!
I think I have to return to England to apply for the visa, and then there's the problem of paying for things due to the sanctions.
😳
hmmm
Soap Bubble Starship? ufo? military jet? I guess you are ready to head to Mars and beyond.
!LOLZ
I guess those kids can beat me up really quickly in the chess match. I am not very good at it.
!PIZZA !hiqvotes
Only in a digital form, haha! by the way: in this particular session, I was fascinated to see how strong and long-living these bubbles were. They landed on a hand's palm, on a grass, soil and stayed there up to a whole minute. 😍 I expressed my excitement and admiration to the girl - and she shared with me her mom's trick: if you add to solute 1 spoon of sugar, it improves the strength of the soap film a lot... I didn't know that trick. Wonderful, isn't it? If you're perform this fun for kids one day, do implement this know-how. 🐈🐈🐈 Without !BEER, of course, but !PIZZA may help boost the fun too. Kidz do love pizza 😛
Hahah, thank you so much, I will keep that in mind and i will do this trick next time I want to play the bubble with my son, hopefully, I will get more photos of the bubbles as well.
have a great day ahead my friend.

That is a nice place, lots of nature and recreational activities, art and fun. I love seeing the smiles of the children playing and the students admiring the art. Wonderful shots, as always @qwerrie friend 😊

Thank you @qwerrie for the pizza 🍕😊
A fun selection of photos!
Yes, I selected this as a nice bouqiet of visuals, best of what I've done recently. Some of these images might end up in my year Top-50. !LUV the #streetphoto genre, isnt it fun?
ps.
This new footer I see, with Ecency logo and non-stop waves is stylish, compact, not annoying at all. Good design work, very pleasurable! !PIZZA
Is that your daughter with the bubble?
No, its a different girl. My baby is a bit older, soon to be 15 y.o.
I find it interesting to take pictures on different days and then compile them into a single collection. Beautiful pictures, the first one is my favorite without a doubt!
Thank you, thank you! Watching those three girls playing a chess was a true fun! especially thru the camera's viewfinder. I made 60 clicks!
...and some of the photos even better than this one, considering the emotions written in their face.. The shots are mostly all the same, but different. I will share them later in my other posts, time after time!
St. Petersburg is a beautiful city, I live really close to it and I have been there a few times.
Sad that with the current political situation of the world, the boarders are closed right now and can't currently visit again.
I really loved the city, such kind and nice people.
Nice pictures guys. I like children who look happy.
Thank you! I am happy to get a compliment. I have tonns of kidz photos in my stash, to share later. 🙏

Thats is a cool Tube station I would say. And a funny ice-cream-man. Lovely photos, thank you for sharing!
My pleasure! TNKS for your kind words 🙏
Great pictures! You even got some of some kids without the parents chasing you off! It looks nice this time of year there.
That was a pretty funky tree you found, a nice place to rest too! Great job!
Haha! "the parents chasing you off!" <- you look into the root of deal... well, telephoto was my friend in a lot of such cases :P thanks god, things are a bit easy in this touchy field, than in more western parts of Europe... the society is less 'civilized' and picky... kidz dont sue their parents (yet) etc etc.
