Yesterday was a sunny day and by happy circumstances, everyone had the afternoon off. This is St. Issac's Cathedral and who could resist the 221 steps to the dome? You can't go to the top but there is a 360 walk-around at the dome level. The view was great and all of the sights of St. Petersburg could be spotted from the dome.
Dusseldorf - continued
The sun slowly gave way to clouds then rain. This is not a city for walking in the rain. Before it was time to shelter and stay dry, I did one last walk around the area. The business district and surrounding areas are clean and little graffiti or murals. Found this flamingo? near the old city. While the leaves probably congest the waterways, they do look cool floating on the water. Ornate door entrance. Soon after this was taken, the clouds and mist lowered and the top of tower stayed obscured for the rest of my stay. I decided to pass on paying to go to the top when there was no visibility. Back in my hotel room I saw this rainbow emerge right before the rain started pelting down.
