Description
The images depict the Palace Bridge in Saint Petersburg during its nightly opening ceremony. Photographers are drawn to the scene for the geometric contrast between the steel trusses of the raised spans and the illuminated spire of the Peter and Paul Fortress in the background. The shots vary by time of day, capturing the transition from deep night to the colorful gradients of sunrise or sunset. These images document the "white nights" phenomenon, utilizing long exposures to smooth the water surface and highlight the artificial lighting against the sky. All photographs feature the same architectural landmark in its open state over the Neva River.
