In Alexander Park. / В Александровском парке. #streetphotography

This is a small pond in the Alexander Park in St. Petersburg. The park is on the Petrograd side. Once upon a time there was a glacis - a shallow earthen mound in front of the outer moat of the Peter and Paul Fortress. But gradually the military importance became irrelevant. The first to think about the park in this place was the Emperor Alexander I. But he did not manage to start the arrangement. The park was created under Nicholas I under the guidance of the Minister of Finance Kankrin. He often visited the mint in the Peter and Paul Fortress and he liked the idea of creating a park on the former glacis. Это небольшой пруд в Александровском парке в Питере. Парк находится на Петроградской стороне. Когда-то на этом месте был гласис – пологая земляная насыпь перед наружным рвом Петропавловской крепости. Но постепенно военное значение стало не актуально. Первым о парке в этом месте задумался император Александр I. Но при нём не удалось начать обустройство. Парк был создан при Николае I под руководством министра финансов Канкрина. Тот часто бывал на монетном дворе в Петропавловской крепости и идея создать парк на бывшем гласисе ему очень понравилась.
So from the middle of the XIX century on this place appeared one of the first public parks of St. Petersburg. In honor of Alexander I he was named Alexandrovsky. Так с середины XIX века на этом месте появился один из первых публичных парков Санк-Петербурга. В честь Александра I его назвали Александровским.
I visited here last August. Flower beds, well-groomed lawns, many benches. This is a nice place to relax after walking up a beautiful city. Я побывала здесь в прошлом августе. Цветники, ухоженные газоны, много скамеек. Это приятное место для того, чтобы отдохнуть, нагулявшись по красивому городу.

In the park a few years ago was opened a street park of miniatures "Mini-city", where bronze copies of Petersburg sights are presented. Unfortunately, I read about it just now. Otherwise, I would have found it when I was walking in the park last year. But, apparently, I walked along other paths and did not see such an interesting place ... В парке несколько лет назад открыли уличный парк миниатюр «Мини-город», где представлены бронзовые копии петербургских достопримечательностей. К сожалению, я прочла об этом только что. Иначе, я бы обязательно нашла его, когда гуляла в парке в прошлом году. Но, видимо, шла по другим дорожкам и не увидела такое интересное место…
