An admirer of France and Versailles, Peter the Great ordered his architects and artists to create a palace and grand cascade of fountains even greater, on the Gulf of Finland outside St. Petersburg.
Just enjoy it. If you want some facts, you can google Peterhof.

the palace and fountains are beautiful. I would think Peter the Great was pleased with the outcome too.
very regal
Spectacular! Which I assume is what he was going for.
I hope he ws pleased with the results! Too bad the sun wasn't out for you.
Wonderful, lavish gardens and fountains beautifully photographed, Jack.
Oh, how I'd like to visit there. I've read about the grandeur, and also the condition of the ordinary people. We're sitting in O'Hare, on our way to Amsterdam.
Incredible!
