A Time Tunnel : Winter Palace in St Petersburg

It was my first visit to Russia more than twenty years ago i.e. soon after they adopted the so called "shock therapy" whereby Russians became so desperately poor as a result ! Russia was nevertheless a most mysterious country to me at the time. It was also the time when I began to get the hang of photography. The bad thing being, many of these works are not to the populist's taste nowadays.
