Wednesday walk in gloomy weather

We still do not have snow, so the pictures are gloomy. In life, it’s even worse than in the pictures - the camera corrects the contrast, and the low gray sky becomes bright. This time I started my walk by looking into one of the courtyards on Kazanskaya Street and discovering Venice there. Layered clouds are illuminated by the setting sun, which we miss so much.

This is the yard of an ordinary apartment building. Such houses were built without elevators, elevator shafts appeared in the XX century. In the far corner of the courtyard, I found an elevator, which very much crowded the space at the entrance to the entrance. The front door can be seen only if you come very close.

The rest of the yard is quite ordinary. Yellow walls, asphalt, cars ... And a bench by the gateway.

Although the weather is not New Year's, the New Year has come anyway. Santa Claus with a bag of gifts scrambles to the balcony.

When I reached the Summer Garden, it began to get dark. Evening illumination of buildings turned on.

In winter, the Summer Garden is rather gloomy. Fountains do not work, antique statues are hidden from the weather in protective wooden boxes.
