Sailboat race on the Gulf of Finland with St. Petersburg lit up behind

The image depicts two sailboats on dark, choppy water, with a large, imposing structure in the background that appears to be a naval monument or a section of a historical ship in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The sky is overcast with streaks of yellow and orange light from the setting sun visible near the horizon. The sailboats have prominent sails; one is a deep blue with the number "6173" and a triangular emblem, while the other is a bright yellow with Cyrillic lettering that reads "d'A..." and ">>BETPA". Both sailboats have visible numbers on their hulls: "7" on the blue-sailed boat and "1" on the yellow-sailed boat. The boat with the number "7" has its bow partially submerged in the water, creating a significant wake. The boat with the number "1" is positioned further back and also generates a wake. Several figures are visible on the decks of the sailboats, appearing to be crew members. The water is illuminated with streaks of electric blue light, suggesting artificial lighting from below or from within the water. The background structure is monumental, with a fortress-like appearance and three vertical poles or masts extending upwards. The overall scene suggests a nighttime or dusk sailing event taking place in the waters of Saint Petersburg, possibly near a prominent maritime landmark.

The image shows a dark, cloudy evening scene at sunset in Saint Petersburg, Russia. In the foreground, a white sailboat with a black sail is sailing on dark, choppy water. The sail has the number "7" in a circle, and the text "RUS6173" and "СИЛА <<< ВЕТРА" printed on it. The boat appears to have at least two people on board. In the background, two bridges span across the water. The closer bridge on the left has many lights illuminating its underside. The further bridge on the right is a large cable-stayed bridge, prominently lit with blue lights. The central pylon of this bridge is especially illuminated and reaches high into the sky. The sky is filled with dramatic, dark clouds, with a sliver of orange and yellow sunset visible near the horizon between the bridges. The overall atmosphere is moody and dramatic, with the artificial lights of the city contrasting with the natural twilight.

The image shows a view from a sailboat at night, looking towards the illuminated Gazprom Arena stadium in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The stadium is bathed in blue and orange light. In the foreground, a dark sail is visible, partially obscuring the view. Below the sail, a person's legs and feet are visible, resting on the deck of the sailboat. They are wearing dark pants and light-colored athletic shoes. The water is choppy, and the sky is overcast. A bridge with lights can be seen in the middle ground. The scene captures a nighttime view of the Neva River with the iconic stadium as a focal point.

The image captures a twilight or nighttime scene in Saint Petersburg, Russia, featuring the Lakhta Center skyscraper illuminated with blue lights. In the foreground, a modern elevated highway or bridge, supported by large concrete pillars, spans across the frame. The bridge is adorned with numerous yellow streetlights that create a warm glow. The Lakhta Center, a distinctive needle-shaped skyscraper, stands tall in the background, its sleek form outlined by vibrant blue LED lighting that follows its contours. Its upper section is pointed and tapers to a sharp apex. The sky is overcast with dark, diffused clouds, suggesting a moody atmosphere. Below the bridge, a body of water is visible, with a dark, industrial-looking pier or embankment along the right side of the frame. The overall impression is one of urban development and modern architecture set against a dramatic sky.

This photograph captures a nighttime view of the Saint Petersburg skyline from the water, likely from a boat, with the iconic Lakhta Center skyscraper prominently featured. The skyscraper, illuminated with vibrant blue lights tracing its sharp, conical structure, dominates the background. The sky is overcast and dark, with patches of lighter clouds. To the left of the Lakhta Center, a row of modern buildings with angular, dark facades is visible, also illuminated with warm-toned lights. These buildings appear to be part of a waterfront complex, possibly a business or residential district. Further to the left, industrial structures with yellow lights are faintly visible. In the middle ground, two tall, slender structures with yellow lights, resembling stylized streetlights or decorative towers, stand against the cloudy sky. A bridge or elevated walkway with multicolored lights, including green and blue, connects parts of the cityscape in the lower right portion of the image. The foreground consists of dark, choppy water, reflecting the dim lights of the city. A portion of what appears to be a boat's railing or equipment, silhouetted in black, is visible in the extreme right of the frame, suggesting the photographer's vantage point. The overall atmosphere is that of a modern, illuminated urban landscape at dusk or night, viewed from a nautical perspective.
