Pink peonies on a Saint Petersburg embankment, July 2026

An outdoor, medium shot shows a light-skinned woman with short blonde hair wearing a light pink quilted jacket over blue jeans and a blue patterned scarf. She is standing with her right hand in her jacket pocket and her left hand holding a bouquet of pink peonies wrapped in clear plastic. A dark red crossbody bag is visible over her right shoulder, and a dark grey backpack is on her left shoulder. She is looking down at the flowers. In the background, a wide, murky river flows past a quay lined with a black metal railing and a green metal structure. Across the river, a row of long, yellow buildings with white trim and many windows, characteristic of Saint Petersburg's neoclassical architecture, line the opposite bank. The sky is overcast and cloudy.

A blonde woman stands on a stone embankment next to a dark metal fence overlooking a body of water in Saint Petersburg, Russia. She is wearing a light pink puffer jacket, blue jeans, white sneakers with pink laces and blue socks, and a blue patterned scarf. She holds a bouquet of pink flowers in her left hand and has her right hand on the back of her head. A dark red crossbody bag is slung over her left shoulder. The buildings on the opposite side of the water are yellow with ornate architectural details and balconies. The sky is overcast and gray. A few boats are visible on the water. The embankment and the adjacent walkway are paved with large stone slabs, some of which appear wet.

This is a medium shot, taken from a low angle, of an old courtyard passage in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The passage is narrow and appears to be made of concrete and stone, with some areas showing signs of wear and tear, and wet patches on the ground suggesting recent rain. The walls are painted a pale yellow with decorative white molding. To the left, the walls feature elaborate, symmetrical white geometric patterns. A rusty pipe runs along the lower portion of the wall. Towards the end of the passage, there are several windows visible on buildings across the courtyard. On the right side of the passage, the ground is mostly concrete with some dark, wet streaks. There's a granite-like stone border separating the passage from the wall. In the distance, a bright red object, possibly a cart or storage box, stands against a wall. The overall impression is of a utilitarian, somewhat weathered urban space, possibly from an older part of the city. The lighting suggests it is daytime, and the wetness of the ground indicates recent or ongoing rain. There is no visible text in the image.
