Looking across Palace Square and the river Neva to the twin Rostral Columns that flank the Naval Museum in St Petersburg, Russia. They were constructed in 1810 as lighthouses and the gas torches at the top are still lit up on special occasions. The Hermitage can be seen on the right hand side of the photograph.
