Hidden beauty

Nastya very well knows her way around in the city and can show you what she calls "Saint Petersburg secret places", places that are not in the tourist guide, but very well worth visiting.
Mosaic
On Friday 6 August, Nastya took Marta and me to see a small garden ornamented with mozaics. Children studying on the academy of arts, beside their regular education, decorated the playing ground and lower parts of the buildings with mozaics. The small garden is hidden between high buildings, representing the typical Petersburg life.
After our walk along the Neva, Nastya showed us the museum of Anna Akhmatova, a well known Russian modernist poet. She wrote while living under the difficult conditions of Stalinism and her work was censored. She choose, however, to continue living in Russia (Wikipedia, 10-08-2010).
