One of two of the photos I've taken over the years now seem to belong in a History book rather than a photo album.
This pic, taken on Nevsky Prospekt during a 2 week stay in Leningrad in December 1982, seems almost surreal now (it seemed pretty surreal at the time!) - a different century, a different country, a different city. A military peaked cap in the crowd. Even the traffic light's red. (And that's the equivalent of Oxford Street - not much in the clothes shop window...)
I'm sure there are some more slices of history in Forumites' collections (and of course those haunting pictures of family cars of yore are right up there!)
