I thought this would be a good time to post some pictures I took in St Petersburg. The G8 Economic Summit begins there this week. I'm trying thumbnails this time. Hope it works OK.

I'll start off with the buildings that the majority of the population of St Petersburg inhabits. There were miles and miles of these tenement-like buildings...most of which really looked shabby.

Same type of buildings at the port, only a little taller.

Port area just across the channel from the previous picture.

Sidewalk scene on a major thoroughfare.

This type of mass transit was everywhere.

Their soccer stadium.

Church of the Spilled Blood. This was typical of most of their Orthodox Church architecture
