The Saint Isaac's Cathedral Water Reflection by Unknown-Photographer

Saint Isaac's Cathedral or Isaakievskiy Sobor is a large architectural landmark cathedral that currently functions as a museum with occasional church services in Saint Petersburg. It is dedicated to Saint Isaac of Dalmatia, a patron saint of Peter the Great, who had been born on the feast day of that saint. The neoclassical exterior expresses the traditional Russian-Byzantine formula of a Greek-cross ground plan with a large central dome and four subsidiary domes. It is similar to Andrea Palladio's Villa Capra "La Rotonda", with a full dome on a high drum substituted for the Villa's low central saucer dome. The design of the cathedral in general and the dome in particular later influenced the design of the United States Capitol dome, Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin, and the Lutheran Cathedral in Helsinki.

A Mirror Image (in a plane mirror) is a reflected duplication of an object that appears almost identical, but is reversed in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. As an optical effect it results from reflection off from substances such as a mirror or water. It is also a concept in geometry and can be used as a conceptualization process for 3-D structures.

Two-dimensional mirror images can be seen in the reflections of mirrors or other reflecting surfaces, or on a printed surface seen inside-out. If we first look at an object that is effectively two-dimensional (such as the writing on a card) and then turn the card to face a mirror, the object turns through an angle of 180° and we see a left-right reversal in the mirror. In this example, it is the change in orientation rather than the mirror itself that causes the observed reversal.

Another example is when we stand with our backs to the mirror and face an object that's in front of the mirror. Then we compare the object with its reflection by turning ourselves 180°, towards the mirror. Again we perceive a left-right reversal due to a change in our orientation. So, in these examples the mirror does not actually cause the observed reversals.

Metra's part of the Franklin Park Railroad Daze (FPRRD) display races back east to Western Avenue with METX 120, the Veterans unit leading the charge, passing Tower B12 where flags were set up to make a patriotic scene. The RTA Heritage Unit, METX 500, can also be seen on the other end.

1 (315) leuchtturm in wien .lighthouse in Vienna. by ibindaschmid

Der Leuchtturm war Teil der KulisseWelt-Icon der Bregenzer Festspielbühne in den Saisonen 1989 und 1990. Er war Teil des Szenenbildes des „Der fliegende Holländer“ von Richard Wagner unter der Regie von David Pountney. Während der Opernaufführungen stürzte sich Senta, eine Figur der Oper, vom Leuchtturm in den Bodensee.

Nachdem ab dem Jahr 1991 eine andere Oper auf der Bühne in Bregenz gezeigt wurde, wurde das Bühnenbild abgebaut, so auch der Leuchtturm. Der Leuchtturm wurde zerlegt und nach Wien transportiert, wo er 1991 anlässlich der Ausstellung „Phantasie und Industrie“ vor dem Technischen Museum WienWelt-Icon wieder aufgebaut wurde.[4] Anlässlich des Umbaus wurde auch der Leuchtturm 1997 abermals zerlegt und an seinen heutigen Standort auf die Donauinsel gebracht.[5] Seither übernahm er unterschiedliche Aufgaben als Werbefläche, Sendeanlage für Netzbetreiber oder Träger einer Wetter- und Stadtkamera.[6

The lighthouse was part of the Bregenz Festival's Welt-Icon scenery during the 1989 and 1990 seasons. It was part of the set design for Richard Wagner's "The Flying Dutchman," directed by David Pountney. During the opera performances, Senta, a character in the opera, threw herself from the lighthouse into Lake Constance.

After a different opera was performed on the Bregenz stage in 1991, the set design was dismantled, along with the lighthouse. The lighthouse was dismantled and transported to Vienna, where it was rebuilt in 1991 for the exhibition "Imagination and Industry" in front of the Vienna World-Icon Technical Museum.[4] During the renovation, the lighthouse was dismantled again in 1997 and brought to its current location on the Danube Island.[5] Since then, it has served various purposes as an advertising space, a transmitter for network operators, or a weather and city camera.[6]

Riverside Colors by Unknown-Photographer

The Moyka (latinised as Moika) is a short river in Saint Petersburg which splits from the Neva River. Along with the Neva, the Fontanka river, and canals including the Griboyedov and Kryukov, the Moyka encircles the central portion of the city, effectively making that area an island or a group of islands. The river derives its name from the Ingrian word Muya for "slush" or "mire", having its original source in former swamp. It is 5 kilometres (3 mi) long and 40 metres (130 ft) wide.
The river flows from the Fontanka river, which is itself a distributary of the Neva, near the Summer Garden past the Field of Mars, crosses Nevsky Prospect and the Kryukov Canal before entering the Neva river. It is also connected with the Neva by the Swan Canal and the Winter Canal.

In 1711, Peter the Great ordered the consolidation of the banks of the river. After the Kryukov Canal linked it with the Fontanka River four years later, the river became so much cleaner that its name was changed from Muya to "Moyka", the latter from the Russian verb "to wash".

In 1736, the first Moyka quay was constructed in wood. Four bridges originally spanned the river: the Blue, the Green, the Yellow, and the Red. The 99-metre (325 ft)-wide Blue Bridge, now hardly visible underneath Saint Isaac's Square, remains the widest bridge in the whole city.
