    Here are some notes concerning the pictures that we took on May 10. At 8:30:20 AM I took a picture of the Winter Palace from the main plaza of the city. This was the place square 1000 peasants were killed when they petitioned Czar at the Winter Palace in 1905. The photograph taken at 8:30:41 AM shows the row of palaces along the waterfront of the Neva River. Hermitage Museum, Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood, lunch, St. Isaac's Church, shopping.
