The Upper Garden and Grand Palace of Peterhof. |

One last look at the Grand Palace before heading
out into the town of Petrodvorets. |

The Nikolskiy Store and Cafe in Petrodvorets
town, built in traditional Russian country style. There were
no markings
on
this
building
to indicate whether it was actually old or just built in that
style.
In any case, the Coca-Cola sign is a nice touch.

SS
Peter & Paul Cathedral in Petrodvorets, built
at the turn of the 20th century in Russian style. |

Another
shot of the SS Peter & Paul Cathedral.
It's hard to bump up the color saturation on pictures like this
with having them look like 1960s postcards. |

Another
view of the SS Peter & Paul Cathedral. |

A last look
at the SS Peter & Paul Cathedral.
You know, I think I prefer this Russian architecture to the baroque
and classical European buildings in Saint Petersburg.

We decided to leave Petrodvorets by elektrichka (electric
train) instead of going back on the hydrofoil. This is the interior
of the Petrodvorets train station, which was originally a church.
