I also painted the lamps a semi gloss black spray paint. Much better , simpler quieter. I wish I has 4 of those wicker chairs I just love them .

When Peter the Great built this city on a swamp, his subjects humoured the Emperor. When he declared it the new capital, they were less amused. <br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uVJPhv55OQI/UiMclQ-UX5I/AAAAAAAAzrM/hIqg3rukGww/s1600/Catherine+palace+Russia++Tsarskoye+Selo+(Pushkin)+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="121" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uVJPhv55OQI/UiMclQ-UX5I/AAAAAAAAzrM/hIqg3rukGww/s200/Catherine+palace+Russia++Tsarskoye+Selo+(Pushkin)+3.jpg" width="200" /></a>But history has shown that the forward-thinking, Westward-looking tsar was inspired. Gradually, St Petersburg evolved from a swampy backwater into a modern European city, <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=360415">Russia</a>’s ‘window to the West’. Unlike <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=360429">Moscow</a>’s red bricks and onion domes, St Petersburg’s network of canals and baroque and neoclassical architecture give the city a European flavour, no doubt because it was built by Italian architects. Even the residents of St Petersburg fancy themselves ‘European’ and somehow slightly more sophisticated than their more easterly compatriots.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-es2CjA94Puc/UETzugGLviI/AAAAAAAASEo/AnFn2ZYCE6c/s1600/St.Petersburg_Russia+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-es2CjA94Puc/UETzugGLviI/AAAAAAAASEo/AnFn2ZYCE6c/s320/St.Petersburg_Russia+1.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZczO-QYbhQ8/UET0TmXIjvI/AAAAAAAASHY/iko0AJFgROA/s1600/St.Petersburg_Russia+36.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZczO-QYbhQ8/UET0TmXIjvI/AAAAAAAASHY/iko0AJFgROA/s200/St.Petersburg_Russia+36.jpg" width="200" /></a>St Petersburg has always been a city of ideas. Petersburgers incited the Russian Revolution, ushering in 70 years of communist rule. And it was St Petersburg that encouraged democracy when the tide began to change. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DmEnflxDy1Y/UET0VDAZOuI/AAAAAAAASHg/9KSv_gJDUXc/s1600/St.Petersburg_Russia+37.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DmEnflxDy1Y/UET0VDAZOuI/AAAAAAAASHg/9KSv_gJDUXc/s320/St.Petersburg_Russia+37.jpg" width="320" /></a>Nowadays, this city’s citizens are breaking down the barriers of generations past and exploring new ideas, investigating the possibilities of consumerism, creativity and career. It’s not only Rastrelli’s architecture and Tchaikovsky’s operas that entice visitors, but also beatnik bands, edgy art galleries, underground clubs and delectable dining. St Pete’s bohemian side gives a glimpse into the 21st century; and (to borrow a communist slogan) the future is bright!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuOxVYSlD_OFAAOJasPkGh09yasDLQAzQwvZRLlQNv01CQgvKWT22gSU0cLfjL3gflVshUJAPPxWQHcI8_3Ylgzc_j8gCD6A5_poWHFcRZpBsrqD0M9m-6uTdMObaYtIukj8AW_8ntpOLu/s1600/St.Petersburg_Russia+33.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuOxVYSlD_OFAAOJasPkGh09yasDLQAzQwvZRLlQNv01CQgvKWT22gSU0cLfjL3gflVshUJAPPxWQHcI8_3Ylgzc_j8gCD6A5_poWHFcRZpBsrqD0M9m-6uTdMObaYtIukj8AW_8ntpOLu/s400/St.Petersburg_Russia+33.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FjYoaMFv8Wc/UEXiz5M3QpI/AAAAAAAASOM/phcW1ZBRZaY/s1600/St.Petersburg_Russia+50.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FjYoaMFv8Wc/UEXiz5M3QpI/AAAAAAAASOM/phcW1ZBRZaY/s400/St.Petersburg_Russia+50.jpg" width="400" /></a>St Petersburg is legendary for its White Nights: those long summer days when the sun barely dips below the horizon. Revels start in May, when the city finally succumbs to spring and the parks are filled with flowering trees. But even when the skies are grey and the ground is covered in snow, the rich culture of St Petersburg dazzles and delights.<a class="pin toggleMap closed" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/st-petersburg#" id="pinToggleMap" style="display: block;"><span class="showMapText">Show in Lonely Planet</span></a><br /><b>Ready to go?</b><br />These tours & activities make it easy:<br /><ul class="inBody"><li>Travel <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/europe/tours/explorer/st-petersburg-budapest?lpaffil=fbta1">from St Petersburg to Budapest</a> in 15 days</li><li>Discover St Petersburg during your <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/tours/explorer/russia-highlights?lpaffil=fbta1">tour around the highlights of Russia</a></li><li>Visit the magnificent <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/st-petersburg/activities/day-trips/tour-pushkin-tsarskoye?lpaffil=fbta1">summer residence of the Russian Tsars</a></li></ul><div class="relatedLinks clearfix"><h3 class="themeHeading"> More about St Petersburg </h3><ul><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7auFUmSrNGgwHx6f5w8dlbu0dltob8rnVqE_1MRLq-Wk_oj9enyLT8O5oCmZGoA4HyEhomyeCidqmTLykFslNw3E2wwJTyUevoIIjhFuUAA3OhGZxcZxTek6FWuovvP1wqlIz_cIPTJI3/s1600/St.Petersburg_Russia+49.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right;
