At the railing of the Vasily Island Split, with the Neva River in the background (view is east). Our guide Elena Zhivopistseva (right) watches as we check our GPS -- since this trip was taken in 2002, before Earth Google was available, every location had to be recorded faithfully and carefully for precise map-making. The building in the background is the Hermitage, southeast across the Neva River.
