St. Petersburg slideshow

  • Okay, I’m ready to be done with my last vaca­tion, but it took me this long to pull together my favorite pho­tos out of the 250-some we took and load them onto a Flicker slideshow. So for those of you who would still like to see more of the Russ­ian fab­u­lous­ness, the link is HERE. (If you’re a Face­book friend, you don’t need to bother — this is essen­tially the same one I had there, except with the per­sonal shots taken out.)

    If you haven’t used Flicker before, you should know that you have the abil­ity to turn the photo cap­tions and com­ments either on or off. If you put the cur­sor some­where on the slideshow, some menus will come up at the upper right. Click­ing on ‘Show info’ will tog­gle the cap­tions (on if they’re off; off if they’re on). The ‘Options’ menu next to that will give you some other choices. Mov­ing the cur­sor off the slideshow entirely wlll take away the menus in a sec­ond and let you see just the images. I think my favorite way to see these things is with the cap­tions off the first time around, then with them on.

    I don’t think I’ve men­tioned that almost all of these pic­tures were taken by Greg, who’s a much bet­ter pho­tog­ra­pher than I am. Any­way, it’s all there, so pour your­self a shot of vodka (or water that you pre­tend is vodka), crank up the Nut­cracker Suite and enjoy!

    I think your pho­tos are wonderful!

    Did you make it to Rus­sia in your trav­els? Or was it still off-limits when you lived in Europe?

    I never got to Rus­sia. I prob­a­bly could have gone — I prob­a­bly could have got­ten a visa and per­mis­sion, but my husband’s work was such that they’d never have allowed him to go. So I didn’t either.

    But I got around a lot — we lived there from ’74-’78, ’82-’84, and ’97-’02. I got to Morocco, Egypt a cou­ple times, Israel, Greece a cou­ple times, Eng­land annu­ally. France every other month. Pam­ploma for the run­ning of the bulls in 1976. Once left a hotel in Spain and did an 18 hour round trip to the Algarve in Por­tu­gal because I’d never been that close with free time before. I admit. I’m nuts.
