Till the end of times
Bis ans Ende der Zeiten
From the "Walking through the yards of Dovlatov" series.
Yards in the historical center of St. Petersburg are usually connected by arched passages and resemble the wells formed by the walls of buildings.
Russian journalist and writer Sergey Dovlatov is one of the most popular Russian writers around the world. He lived in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) for a total of 33 years on Rubinstein Street, in houses number 23 and 22. He regularly walked around the courtyards connecting Rubinstein Street and the Fontanka River embankment.
The author of the photo offered here has made this journey twice, at different times, and as a result, this series has developed.
