Though I’m still working on my St. Petersburg post, I thought that I’d share with you one of my favorite aspects of the trip…looking at ceilings. Everywhere we went, the ceilings were as magnificent as anything else and consequently, I found myself looking UP…all of the time. Fortunately, I managed to avoid getting a black eye from all of the doors and walls I ran into (Silver Lining).
The ceiling reflected in the mirror was breathtaking!
Hollye, Your photography is amazing! I can't wait to see the St. Petersburg post. This post just whets my whistle! Melani
Wow. Thanks so much, Melani! St. Petersburg is tomorrow…
Incredible beauty.

Thanks very much, Pete!
Thank you. These are beautiful!
THanks, Carolyn!
Thank you for sharing those amazing photos you took of ceilings and walls….undoubtedly a look into some awesome buildings. Can you imagine the artisans standing on tall ladders to accomplish those designs? I loved seeing these almost as much as the flora and fauna of Santa Barbara.
Absolutely, Bonnie! I actually thought about the artisans a TON when I was drooling over the beauty. Thanks for your comment!
Hollye,
I know what you mean about the Russian ceilings. I kept running into people because my gaze was always up. They were magnificant…especially the churches and the Hermitage.
Thanks, Patricia! Hermitage photos coming tomorrow. 🙂
