When I lived in St Petersburg in 2000-2004, I loved walking around this area with my cassette player. The cathedral was part of a complex planned by the Empress Elizabeth to include a nunnery and a new school for girls - the first and most famous girls' state school in the Russian Empire. However, in December of that year, Elizabeth died, and work on the monastery came to a halt. Rastrelli was relieved of his duties at Smolny by Catherine the Great, and left Russia in October 1763.
By the early 1830s, much of the cathedral had fallen into disrepair and was becoming overgrown. In 1832, Nicholas I commissioned Vasily Stasov to finish the building. Construction was officially completed in 1835, and the cathedral was on July 22 of that year. After the revolution, the cathedral suffered a similar fate to most of the churches in St. Petersburg. In 1922, all of its valuables were looted, and in 1923 the cathedral was closed. For many years, the building was not even heated, had no electricity or water, and it slowly decayed.

This beautiful Maremma sheepdog is named "Aron", and belongs to my aunt. He's such a sweet, the way he waits for me when I come visiting always melts my heart. UPDATE: This was just made photo of the week! Thanks, Lomo!
A neat film. I bought a bunch of it when Frugal got them back in stock. They come in sample packs: Two rolls of 35mm and a little vial it's own special developer. They say it's a type of micro film for holding up really great detail. I've avoided shooting it for awhile because I had some issues the last time (think it turned out to be the camera) and I have to develop two rolls at once. Still trouble shooting the flash on my Yashica.
