Hello my friends, Steemians! I hope You have a good start to the new week and ahead of us a lot of interesting and pleasant events. Today for #Monochromemonday a few of my photos .
Rostra - the so-called nose of the ship (in Latin meaning "beak"). In Ancient Rome there was a tradition in honor of victory in a sea battle to set the columns which adorned the nasal rostrums of captured ships.
These Rostral columns are installed in St. Petersburg in 1810. They are a memorial of the naval glory of Russia. Their height is 32 meters. Architect Jean-françois Thomas de Thomon. In the beginning they served as a lighthouse but later turned into a monument.
In our days it is one of the most pleasant places that like to visit the residents and guests of our city. During the holidays and important celebrations in St. Petersburg, here are lit bright orange torches.
Location: Saint Petersburg, Russia, Arrow Vasilevsky island.

Здравствуйте, мои друзья, Steemians! Я надеюсь, что у вас есть хорошее начало для новой недели впереди у нас много интересных и приятных событий. Сегодня для #Monochromemonday несколько моих фотографий .
Ростра - так называемый нос корабля (в переводе с латинского означает "клюв"). В Древнем Риме существовала традиция в честь победы в морском сражении устанавливать колонны, украшенные носовыми рострами захваченных кораблей.
Эти Ростральные колонны, установленные в Санкт-Петербурге в 1810 году. Они являются памятником военно-морской славы России. Их высота 32 метра. Архитектор - Жан Франсуа Тома де Томон. В самом начале они служили как маяк, но позднее уже превратились в памятник архитектуры.
В наши дни это одно из самых приятных мест, которое любят посещать жители и гости нашего города. В дни праздников и значимых торжеств в Санкт-Петербурге здесь зажигают ярко-оранжевые факелы.
Локация: Санкт-Петербург, Россия, Стрелка Васильевского острова.
