still

I took this photo while walking home the other day when the Neva was eerily still. It was very close for about a day and a half. Nothing moved. The air was still, the water was still. The city felt wrapped up and waiting.

This is the angel atop Peter and Paul Fortress. My class thinks this was named for a person named Peter Paul. Education is not always enough to combat the conviction and common sense of a seven-year-old.
