The Lakhta Center is an 87-storey skyscraper built in the northwestern neighbourhood of Lakhta in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Standing 462 metres tall, it is the tallest building in Russia, the tallest building in Europe, and the sixteenth-tallest building in the world.
The second day we were there England were playing Croatia in the football World Cup semi finals (they lost!). We had been asked if we wanted tickets but declined, and looking at the huge queues I am very glad we did.
Such a fascinating place, Russia. That is a beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat nice photos and thanks for the information about them too interesting :-)

That had to be something to see...once upon a time.
ReplyDeleteWe always love seeing your beautiful photos from your adventures. These are no exception.
ReplyDeleteSoccer in England can be really dangerous if the fans get mad. We would be afraid to attend a big game there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a special trip with amazing images. The first one is quite fictional...

Great photos. I am at the point that I wouldn't even wait in a long line to meet Nic Cage. :) XO
ReplyDeleteVery interesting that the Lahtka Center looks like a weapon of war -- a missile perhaps? It really would be a shame if it was damaged, though. It certainly is beautiful and unexpected in St. Petersburg. I know it has a great history. How fortunate you were to see it before the latest war.
ReplyDeleteOne of my biggest regrets is that I didn't visit Russia when I had the chance. That really is a stunning skyscraper.
