Black and white shot down the long, wide Nevsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg, with the photographer's shadow on the road

In round of two of Oi Polloi’s ‘let’s pretend holiday photos are internet content’ blog posts, here’s a few pictures from St. Petersburg. No one needs to see photos of me and my better half eating Blini/Georgian dumplings/more Blini (though if dumplings are your thing, Loft Projects do a good line), so here’s some pictures of the never-ending Nevsky Prospekt, Pushkin-mania, Russian club lurkers and normal stuff that looks cool ‘cause it’s written in Cyrillic.
