A building in the historic center of Saint Petersburg, currently undergoing renovation or showing signs of neglect. The facade is draped with protective netting, some windows are broken, and the plaster is deteriorating. In the foreground is an embankment and a canal or river. The image captures the contrast between cultural heritage and the passage of time — a typical scene in the older districts of Saint Petersburg, rich with charm and historic character. (2017 год)
