Oranienbaum. Menshikov Palace

Three steps to the right...tunnel of time

But not so fast. First you need to get in the car and drive 70 miles.
On the road I will be silent. It’s hard to steer, take pictures and talk at the same time.

I hope the road was pleasant. They say that in Russia there are two troubles - fools and roads. I will not show fools. They can beat. Roads ... there are good ones.

In the first photo you see the palace of Prince A. D. Menshikov. For the curious, I suggest you come here. There is a lot of information about this place on the Internet. I want to show you what it looks like right now this fall. Too many photos for one post. Therefore, now there will be only this palace. Let's start with the approach to it.

Hence, another 355 steps up.

Here you can stop at every step and shoot everything. All pictures will be good. Autumn outfits of trees add beauty to landscapes. And here is the entrance to the inner territory of the Menshikov Palace.

Half of the park is closed repairs. And here, too, there are many workers and various equipment. But this almost does not interfere with a good walk. We were unlucky with the weather. It was a bit overcast. But lucky with the rain. He was not at all.

This gate was completely closed. Behind them were visible some large-scale work to improve the park. In parting, we went in a circle inside the palace. We looked into the temporary portal, but decided not to dive far.
