Greetings friends, I was reading the feed a few days ago and saw information about the Phone Photography Contest. I was immediately interested, it seems to me that already in a few years there has been a real revolution in photography: for a significant number of subjects and situations the smartphone is even better suited than a DSLR. I use my smartphone most of the time for photography - after all, it's what I carry in my pocket on a daily basis. That's why I immediately decided to take part in this contest, especially since this contest is organized by a community I'm subscribed to but haven't posted in for a long time - Feel Good community

Recently our city celebrated its birthday. I took a short walk through the neighborhood where the first houses in our city appeared. The first building of our city is officially considered to be the wooden house where Emperor Peter the Great lived at the beginning of the construction of the city. This wooden house was built in just three days, in fact it was a marching dwelling. Later other houses and palaces were built, but this very first house is characterized by its simplicity.

Greetings friends, today I've been organizing my spring photo folders, and I paid special attention to photos taken during bike rides. I prepared these photos and combined them into one post, and it turned out to be a story about the beginning of the bicycling season in our city.

Kronstadt was a closed city for a long time. It was possible to get to Kronstadt only with a special pass, and a walk around Kronstadt was a pipe dream for many people. But one day the special visiting regime was abolished and walking around Kronstadt became available to everyone.

Greetings friends, Last week I took a walk in the most touristy parts of the city. This week I decided to take a different type of walk. I walked in places that are not listed in the guidebooks (although some of these places are just as noteworthy as the recognized monuments). I was interested in the changes that are happening right now. There is no such thing as an unchanged urban environment, something is always happening: new monuments appear, dilapidated buildings disappear, mysterious inscriptions and drawings appear on the walls of houses... Some changes are global, they are included in the city development plan, other changes are noticeable only to the most attentive locals.

The leaves on the trees invariably appear in early May in our city. This year, March and early April were very warm, and it seemed that the leaves on the trees should also appear early. But that didn't happen, only the cherry blossoms bloomed earlier than usual. Fresh green leaves started to appear at the very end of April and the beginning of May, as they always do.
