Sketches from St.Petersburg
Here's some sketches from my travels around St.Petersburg and Moscow. Will take several posts, I think. Here's the beginning:
Isaakievsky temple from a roof of a neigbouring building, a very quick sketch:
A woman selling corn on the street:
Church in Kolomna, a place in St.Petersburg. The point that I was sketching from is remarkable for the number of bridges you can see from it (although I wasn't doing a sketch of bridges). It's a kind of crossroad of channels and you see nine bridges from here.
A sketch of a table in a place called "Pub 9"
Three sketches from a place called "Tokyo cafe":

I scream for an ice-cream
There was a Young Lady of Russia,
Who screamed so that no one could hush her;
Her screams were extreme,
No one heard such a scream,
As was screamed by that Lady of Russia.
