St.Petersburg: Celebrationby *Nightcitylights

Photography / Urban & Rural / Cityscapes & Skylines

Saint Petersburg, January 27, 2009, 21:10, Fireworks over the Neva river to celebrate 65-year-anniversary of the end of Leningrad Siege (Blockade) in the World War II. (Leningrad is the old name of Saint Petersburg)
The blockade lasted 871 days (from September 8 of 1941 till January 27 of 1944). Over 1 million of citizens died. People had only 250g of bread to eat a day, many people even lesser.
The photo itself may seem beautiful to you but we must never forget those tragic events.

On a trip with ~Sarumian3000

Canon 40D, 17-85, ISO 100, F/11, about 3 sec (I used the bulb mode).
