Name of this ship Aurora it's mean sunrise from ancient Greek language. 100 years before drunk navy sailors by order of Vladimir Lenin start to shoot from this big guns to the Winter Palace of Russian Tsar.
Palace on the other side of this big river. These pic's a bit dark, and they must be dark cause it was the dark times for Russia, and I'm glad photos have same mood and probably same weather like 100 years before.
as a bonus little Captain's steam vehicle, really like this one-
I had a little ride on the boat of my friends. First time in my life I saw this ship from the water, impressive..
I was visit my home town Saint-Petersburg first time in last 5 years. Story about it you can read here, if you are interested.
