I have lived for many years in St Petersburg, the cultural capital of Russia.
This majestic city is steeped in art, history, beauty and the poetry of rain.
The smell of the sea, beautiful palaces, parks and bridges, hospitable citizens, street music, artists, poets - all this and much more, fascinates and inspires me.
The spirit of the city beckons and invites you to stroll along the Neva river, to dream about something wonderful, to take pictures against the background of sunset and drawbridges... And how lovely are the world-famous "White Nights".
I really like walking on St. Petersburg bridges. You can stand on one of its bridges leaning against a gilded handrail and enjoy the sound of waves and moving riverboats.
Everything about this city is romantic and poetic... And the frequent rain and the street music is an occasion for inspiration.
"The Poetry of Rain is about romance, beauty and harmony and my admiration for the beautiful city of St Petersburg.
