Description

Another look at this Palace. The palace is named after Peter the Great’s wife, Catherine I. Peter ruled the Tsardom of Russia and later the Russian Empire during the 17th Century. Located 16 miles from St. Petersburg, it was used as a Rococo summer residence for Russian tsars.

A summer residence...wonder if they rented it out the other nine months... ;-)
All the outstanding "C"s (composition, colors, and clarity) are in this lovely capture, Rey. Plus another "c" ~ gorgeous clouds!
Wonderful repeating patterns and designs, right down to the topiary shapes. Superb work, my friend.
P.S. It's not quite midnight, so I'm getting it under the wire: Happy St. Patrick's Day!
