Marly Palace
1720-1723, architect J. Braunstein
The elegant two-story palace "Marly", is the main sight of the western part of the Lower park. It received its name, similarly with the residence of the French king Louis XIV, "Marly-le-Roi", that was visited by Peter I, in 1717.
The palace is located at the border of the western part of the Lower park. It is standing on the artificial viaduct between the Sectoral and the Large Marly ponds, used for fish breeding since Peter I's time. This tradition lives on in our days - during specific hours, the fish is fed being called by the ring of a bell. The Marly palace plays an important role in the general layout of the Lower Park. There are three beam alleys, diverging from the eastern bank of the Marly pond - Marly, Birch and Maliban. They cross the whole park from west to east, and connect the palace with other main constructions of the Peterhof ensemble.
Autumn, also known as Fall in North American English, is one of the four temperate seasons. Outside the tropics, autumn marks the transition from summer to winter, in September (Northern Hemisphere) or March (Southern Hemisphere). Autumn is the season when the duration of daylight becomes noticeably shorter and the temperature cools considerably. Day length decreases and night length increases as the season progresses until the Winter Solstice in December (Northern Hemisphere) and June (Southern Hemisphere). One of its main features in temperate climates is the striking change in colour for the leaves of deciduous trees as they prepare to shed.
Although colour change in leaves occurs wherever deciduous trees are found, coloured autumn foliage is noted in various regions of the world: most of North America, Eastern Asia (including China, Korea, and Japan), Europe, southeast, south and part of the midwest of Brazil, the forest of Patagonia, eastern Australia and New Zealand's South Island.
Eastern Canada and New England are famous for their autumnal foliage, and this attracts major tourism (worth billions of US dollars) for the regions.
