Serpentine Pavillion 2017 by Francis Kéré, London, UK
I went early morning to Kensington Gardens to discover the 2017 Pavillion. Those pavillions are provisional constructions commissioned to great architects every year and they last the time of a summer. I was rewarded with this pretty morning light.

Kanoniersky Island, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Kanonersky Island, one of Saint Petersburg Islands, an old artillery gunpowder depotwas built on the island. It has a post-industrialist favour. Nowadays ships pass near the island through the ship canal to the dam and further. Some docks and piers are working around, a highway is under construction. I went there on a wild photographic tourwith russian friends trying to find signs of decay, and there are many!

Dreaming, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Stairs at the trains depot in Lomonosovskaia, Saint Petersburg, Russia. Since I wasn't allowed inside the depot, I let me inspire by this spiral and by a very motivated model.

Grand entrance to New Holland Island, long fell into neglect, Saint Petersburg, Russia
New Holland Island was created in 1719. After the Russian Revolution its buildings fell into neglect, Here photographed at sunset at about 22h30 hours, still the White Nights period. It has a nostalgic and derelict touch. This grand entrance is not grand anymore, but a stop for tourists boats surfing the channels of Saint Petersburg.
