A few pictures from a cemetery outside the Alexander Nevsky monastery which I visited on Wednesday. I took tons of pics but don't feel like posting them all right now. I will probably put some more up on facebook. This is probably my favorite place that I've been so far. The day was perfect - sunny, warm. All the trees are turning colors. The cemetery was full of trees, quiet, beautiful. The muted midday sun seeped through the orange and yellow leaves, giving a feeling of solemnity and peace. It was so great. I also saw some graves of famous Russians, like
composer Tchaikovsky:
author Zhukovsky:
author Dostoevsky:
composer Glinka:
composer Rimsky-Korsakov:
composer Mussorgsky:
and Stravinsky:
Around the cemetery:

don't know whose grave, but I thought it was beautiful, especially with the trees in the background:
so many gravestones:
This is either the monastery or the Holy Trinity Cathedral. I was pretty confused:
