Russia - 13th of december 2010

Today I found this lovely card from St. Petersburg, Russia in my mail. It came along with a beautiful quote by Aleksandr Pushkin.

"The snow below the bluish skies,

Like a majestic carpet lies,

And in the light of day it shimmers.

The woods are dusky. Through the frost

The greenish fir-trees are exposed;

And under ice, a river glitters."

- A. Pushkin

I also enjoyed the stamps! They are showing a viaduct and the river 'Matsesta', I think. My Russian has become a bit rusty, I fear.
