I found this coffe mug with the Bastian look-alike in Saint Petersburg - and of course I had to bring it home for my mug collection. Nevsky Prospekt 71, St. Petersburg, Russia, 04.05.2017 Not my drawing - copyright holder unknown. Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

The " Catherine Palace " just South of Saint Petersburg was the summer residence of the Russian tsars. These are the bulb domes on top of the palace chapel. Deliberately destroyed during the war by retreating German troops, the Palace and park has now been almost completely restored to it's former splendor. Visiting lavish palaces like this always leaves me with pity for the impoverished serfs that had to pay for it, but I have to admit it is a very impressive part of Russia's history.

One more from our trip to Saint Petersburg - the magnificent onion domes on top of the " Church on Spilled Blood ". It looks medieval, but actually just dates from the late 1800's... Church on Spilled Blood, Saint Petersburg, Russia, shot by Lene Raarup, 03.05.2017. Nikon 1J1 Digital Camera

Last week Lene and I spent a few days in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Just two weeks earlier it had still been snowing, but we arrived for some mild and sunny spring days in this beautiful city - the "Venice of the North". This is the Peter and Paul Fortress , shot by Lene from an evening boat trip on the Neva river. Neva River, Saint Petersburg, Russia, 04.05.2017. Nikon 1J1 Camera

Today at Racekatten's show in Friheden, Copenhagen, Rags participated for the first time in the Danish "Pensioner" class for over 10 year olds - and judge Alexey Shchukin awarded him the trophee. He also was awarded an HP (Honoury Prize) in Class 2 by Charles Spijker. As always Rags enjoyed going to the show and all the cuddles and attention from prominent visitors - among which were our Flickr friend Ghita and her husband. :) Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali). 07.05.2017.
