When You observe sattelite map of this place obtained from Google Maps, You can remark that map lies, because it shows vessel and krane arrounded by hills of crushed stone or sand. Oops, but Google still don't invent how to show us season-oriented sattelite maps - green in summer, yellow and red in autumn, white in winter.

Today is winter, and pier is closed as waterways are covered by ice.

These pebbles on the pier remind me edict that Peter the Great issued after Saint-Petersburg was founded in 1703 : "Every cart arriving Petersburg is obliged to pay duty of 3 stones (cobblestones), every vessel - from 10 to 30 stones. Every citizen is obliged to give city 100 stones...".

Celebrating today Wrinkle's 10th anniversary I would like to wish : let these humble panoramas remain in our memory as starting point for current and future worldwide projects of panoramic photographers !
