Sunset over Neva river, a photo from Saint Petersburg, Northwest

Photographer's Note

Sunset over Neva river

The Neva is a river in northwestern Russia flowing from Lake Ladoga through the western part of Leningrad Oblast (historical region of Ingria) to the Neva Bay of the Gulf of Finland. Despite its modest length of 74 kilometres (46 mi), it is the fourth largest river in Europe in terms of average discharge (after the Volga, the Danube and the Rhine).

The Neva is the only river flowing from Lake Ladoga. It flows through the city of Saint Petersburg, three smaller towns of Shlisselburg, Kirovsk and Otradnoye, and dozens of settlements. The river is navigable throughout and is part of the Volga–Baltic Waterway and White Sea – Baltic Canal. It is a site of numerous major historical events, including the Battle of the Neva in 1240 which gave Alexander Nevsky his name, the founding of Saint Petersburg in 1703, and the Siege of Leningrad by the German army during World War II.

Hello Piotr,
A nice place to catch the last sun rays.
Sitting by the water always has something relaxing.
Moreover, the buildings on both sides of the water are certainly worth to enjoy their view.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Piotr,

The presence of the persons is animating the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the buildings and of the boat. The sunset is giving nice colors to the picture. Have a nice day.

Simple yet a charming scene, Piotr.
Golden afternoon light gave beautiful mild tone over the facade on left and upon those who were sitting and watching the sunset on the quay.
Have a nice new day,
Ike

Piotr, the city dwellers and some tourists enjoy the last sun rays on the Neva river bank in St Petersburg. It is the perfect place to chill out, to talk or to relax. A tourist river boat is moored on the right. Splendid golden light captured.
