Then that last dog. It was my fault, I wasn't paying attention. Sky was out ahead at the end of her retractable leash and this cute black & white spaniel-type dog comes towards us with his runner. Sky went for the dog and I couldn't stop her in time. She just about got the dog, tripped up the runner, and somehow the other dog managed to get off his leash. Well, he comes over to see what Sky's problem is, not in an aggressive way, he seems like a nice dog. Sky, in the meantime, is getting cussed out and is sitting with her chain collar up under her ears. I asked the runner if his dog was ok, and he seemed to be, so Sky got to finish the mile and half home in heel. Dang dog.
Post title is something of a play on words, as Sky's middle name is Blue. I didn't mess with the hue or saturation of any of the following pictures, but I did crop a couple of them. The sky in Russia is blue. Crazy blue. Amazing blue. Really, mind-bogglingly blue. These are all from St. Petersburg. Tomorrow we'll take a look at Moscow.
Church on Spilled Blood. I didn't pick the name, Tsar Aleksandr II was murdered there.
Along the Moika Canal.
Mariinsky Palace. The St. Petersburg Duma meets here.
Church on Spilled Blood.
Cool light blue building near the circus. I can't for the life of me remember what it is, though.
The top of some church or another. You're supposed to be looking at the sky anyway.
Hero-City Leningrad. That's what it says. I can't make this stuff up. It's a hotel now.
Beloselsky-Belozersky Palace. Nevsky Prospect is to the left and the water is the Fontanka River.
Kazan Cathedral.
Fountain in the Neva River. We took this from the Winter Palace, aka Hermitage.
Peter & Paul Fortress from across the Neva.
