Zoo_again, in regard of this theory I heard the number 7 so everyone knows everyone with 7 intermediaries. Impossible to either prove or refute. Фонтанка и Мойка - это точно реки, в отличие от каналов Петербурга, которые создавались людьми. VictoryL, here are some pictures of the interior of the Isaac's Cathedral in Saint Petersburg. Enjoy! http://www.asergeev.com/pictures/archives/compress/2003/349/08.htm

Have you heard of "5 degrees of separation" "theory" meaning that everybody knows each other at most through other 5 people?

AtvIchaIm na vAprosy tIlIzritItej: 1. Yep, I just happened to be (to study, to work and to hang out) in a certain circle - that's it. Yep, this is Kat'ka! Gosh - are you interested in photography? Where did you get this pic? It's an old one! This is Katya (she's not that "whitchy" and "femme-fatal"-ish in real life, it's just a pic, she's a nice and clever girl) and "below" (khe-khe) is a co-owner of the studio they manage together ("5th box" or "Studia Pyatyj Boks") - Boris Fomin. This is quite and old pic, it was taken in 1998-1999, if not earlier. And no, they are not lovers. :o) They're just in business thogether. I studied with Kat'ka at the same group in the same University. We all majored in "International Economy", but in 1995 she got into the world or photography and she's still there (she originates form an artist's family, so - no wonder she did it...). She's a very talanted photographer, manager and a GREAT friend. 2. No! Thank God I dont' know this bitch personally (and she doesn't know me, which is even better). But my co-worker used to work in a bank where her fund (she's a head of some fund, or somehting like that) had accounts with. You should see his face when somebody mentions name "Narusova". The guy was completely freaked out by her. 3. 5 degrees of separation? Never heard that. But I believe it is like that in real life. :o) "If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question?" Lilly Tomlin.

Btw, this picture took a lot of prizes at different photo-bienallies in 1998. http://www.photodome.ru/Box5/5BOX.html :o) And a girl in a clown hat is her sister Sasha (she a Radio DJ). And her other sister (the youngest one, Yul'ka) is second to the left, in the bottom row. The gay-looking guy (well, he's a gay) :o) in glasses (at the pic where they're dancing) os their make up artist. OK, that's it about Kat'ka for today. :o) "If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question?" Lilly Tomlin.

Wrong! :o) They have a tzar Pavel's Palace there (well, I'd say it's more like a residence, it's not a Versal-lke "palace" (like in Pushkino). But what I liked most of all about Pavlovsk is it's huge and gorgeous park and it's landscaping architecture. Believe it or not - it looks like (and it is!) a pefect "meditation garden". Those ponds with boats are artificaially corrected by Pavel's landscaping architectors, as well as each tree or bush in the park. It's not a "whild" thing, it's a "park masterpiece". I loved it a lot. Aaaand... may be it's all cuz of my own little romance story that happened there (but it's the whole different story...:p) :o).

i like this picture: http://www.photodome.ru/Box5/5BOX.html

Я считаю, что Павловский дворец просто недооценивают. Он хотя и уступает Екатерининскому и Эрмитажу, но тем не менее тоже великолепен. Греческий зал, Тронный с росписью потолка в стиле Брюллова. И парк прекрасный - 600 гектаров!

Zoo! Sheesh! It doesn't give the links properly! Ok - if you go to their main page (the link you've posted). Than click on a RIGHT arrow in the bottom - it'll bring you to the next page with their works. The picture I was talking about looks more like a "picture", not a "photo". The one with walking 4 silouettes, when you can't actually see ppl? It's like a "smoky" one? That's the one. "If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question?" Lilly Tomlin.

Agree 100%. When I said "not Versal-like" I ment that it's good - I dont' like too much gold. :o) "If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question?" Lilly Tomlin.

ah, ok, yeah this link does not go further.. But I know what you mean. Yeah, this is like a painting, not like a photo. I wonder how they made it. I was though talking about another one - the one where two people in black coats are hugging.

---

I like almost all of pictures. Nekotorie dovolno neozhidannie, kak Zoo mentioned two hugging men in black coats. Another is this http://www.photodome.ru/Box5/4.jpg I wonder what could inspire them . never say never
