The White Nights of St. Petersburg

During July, St. Petersburg experiences the phenomenon known as White Nights, when the sun sets so late that twilight lasts throughout the night. This panoramic capture at 20:30 showcases the city's ethereal summer light.

The Neva River flows through Russia's cultural capital, flanked by some of the finest examples of imperial architecture. The distinctive green cast-iron bridge railings are a signature element of the city's urban landscape, dating back to the 18th century.
