nighttime street scene in Saint Petersburg, Russia, along a waterfront promenade

nighttime street scene in Saint Petersburg, Russia, along a waterfront promenade. Two young women stand on the wide, stone-paved sidewalk. One woman wears a dark jacket, blue jeans, and sneakers and carries a small black backpack. She is turned towards the waterfront. The other woman is dressed in all-black clothing. Both seem to be looking at the water or the cityscape across the river. Cars are moving along the adjacent roadway, their headlights illuminating the scene. The sky shows a gradient from deep blue to orange near the horizon, indicating either a sunset or sunrise. Ornate street lamps line the promenade, and their lights are on. The background includes a view across the water of buildings and structures typical of Saint Petersburg. The Neva River is likely flowing nearby, given the location and cityscape.
