Hello dear friends ,
I would like to tell you about one of the “Seven Wonders of Russia” -Peterhof.
In the suburb of St.Petersburg is amazing Museum Complex -Peterhof.This is a recognized “capital of fountains” It is better to visit in summer,because you can see all fountains.
My friends and I were there in vad weather,it was pouring rain and thereforecould not see everything and admire the besutiful fountains.
The sights of Peterhof embodied the work,talent of architects,sculptors,masters of gardening.Peterhof was created by tsar Peter the Great as an Imperial residence. Peter I himself personaly supervised the construction.
The Upper garden covers an area 15 hectares,there are mirror ponds,lime alleys,galleries,sculptures.
In front of the Palace thete is a panorama of Grand Cascade of fountains-a pearl of the Peterhof fountain system.
The cascade is unique in its rich sculptural decor.
The Lower Park covers area 102 hectares.It is his fountains inique sculpture brought the Museum world fame.In my album you can see beautiful fountain “Samson”.
The Center of the Ensemble is
Grand Palace.
Grand Palace was a residence of the Russian Imperators.
You can endlessly admire the magnificent interiors of the Grand Palace.During the Second world war all the beautiful rooms were barbarously destroyed and all rich decor of Palace.But thanks to the titanic work of artists,sculptors,restorets,the interiors of the Palace were recreated.
We walked around Easten part of the park,admired the magnificent fountains, and cascades,Chess Board"," Piramid",“Sun”.
At the end of walk we returned to the big cascades to be photographed and more enjoyed the beauty and majesty of the Ensemble.
