Sunny Winter Day in the Park

 


This park is called Udelny and is located in the northern part of St. Petersburg. Udelny Park is a forested park with a variety of trees, including both deciduous and coniferous species. The birch grove is particularly beautiful.




The park is located on two terraces separated by a 5-6-meter-high ledge, representing the shore of an ancient sea. Initially, part of this area was set aside for growing ship pine.



In the 19th century, the park lands began to be leased for the construction of cottages, promenade gardens, bathing areas, boathouses, and other entertainment venues. Udelny Park gained widespread popularity, which increased after the opening of the railway stations.


The park continues to be a popular recreation spot. In the summer, it is ideal for cycling, and in the winter, for skiing and sledding. Udelny Park also has a small forest area near the central alley, where you can hand-feed birds and squirrels.



I had a wonderful winter day in the park. It was -2°C, slightly windless, and the sky was bright blue. I picked up some millet for the birds and some peanuts for the squirrels.

  2. Dear Nadezda!
    I'm not a fan of winter, but I admire these beautiful winter landscapes. Winter has settled in almost everywhere. A beautiful park with stately trees.
    Have a nice weekend.

  4. Boa noite minha querida amiga Nadezda. Que parque lindo. Parabéns pelas fotos. Não sei como seria, a reação do meu corpo, com a temperatura que você está acostumada. Eu no Rio de Janeiro, 18 graus já sentimos frios. Grande abraço do seu amigo brasileiro.

  6. Wonderful park ❤️ It must be spectacular in all seasons.
    Here where I live it doesn't snow, I had the pleasure of seeing forests and beautiful landscapes with snow when I visited Sweden in winter a few years ago.
    Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos!

  9. Che freddo ancora e quanta neve! La cosa che mi colpisce è che qui se c'è la neve nessuno sta nei parchi mentre li vedo molte persone, addirittura anche sedute sulla sedia a sdraio! Che bella cosa!

    Un caro saluto e un augurio di buon fine inverno.
