Catherine's Palace

Description

Catherine's Palace was originated in 1717 as the summer palace for pleasure. It was expanded in 1733 and again in 1752 to 325 meters. I could not capture the entire palace but I think this composition from the North side carriage courtyard give you an idea of its scope.
