This picture was taken on September 8th, 2012. So since I am in Saint Petersburg I thought that I would add a cool picture from the pictures that I have taken. Here we have спас на крови (Church on Spilt Blood). It is such a cool looking cathedral. Its design is new old-style Russian church because it is only about a hundred years old but looks like it should be 200 or 300 years old. Similar to St Basil's cathedral in Moscow.
The church is actually on a canal and Sveta (the tour guide) talked about why that was significant. Tsar Alexander II was assassinated here and his son build the church in memorial of his father
