Selfies on a Saint Petersburg canal bridge, summer morning

This is a medium shot, eye-level, outdoor photograph of a bronze sculpture of an open book with human-like arms and legs, sitting on a wooden bench. The sculpture is dark brown, with two oval eyes and thin, arched eyebrows carved into the face of the book. Its arms are bent at the elbows, with hands resting on its lap. Its legs are extended forward, with feet dangling over the edge of the bench. The bench is made of light-colored wood with visible grain and is supported by a dark metal frame. A small, open booklet with illustrations is placed on the bench to the right of the sculpture. The background consists of a beige, textured wall with horizontal and vertical lines, suggesting it is part of a building. The ground in front of the bench is covered with small, grey pebbles. The scene is brightly lit, indicating it is daytime. This sculpture is located on Nevsky Prospekt in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It is a part of the "Shelf" monument, created by artist Leonid Melnik.

The image shows a woman with dark hair and nose and ear piercings, wearing a black top and a silver bracelet, holding a book with a red wax seal. She has tattoos on her arms. She is standing on a sidewalk next to a building with orange and pink facade and Cyrillic lettering on it. The text "ПАДЕНИЯ ИЗ МЕТЕОРИТОВ" which translates to "FALLS FROM METEORITES" is visible on the building. Cars are parked along the street in the background, with a pedestrian fence separating the sidewalk from the street. The sky is blue with scattered clouds and a tree is visible to the right of the woman. The environment suggests a sunny day in an urban setting, likely a street in Saint Petersburg, Russia, given the Cyrillic text and architectural style.

A young woman with dark hair and bangs, wearing a black V-neck top and dark pants with a white lace bow, takes a selfie outdoors. She has a tattoo on her left arm and is wearing a delicate necklace with a pendant. She is standing on steps in front of a building with ornate architectural details, hanging plants, and large windows. In the reflection of the windows, buildings with classical architecture can be seen. Wooden tables and benches are visible on either side of the steps, suggesting an outdoor seating area for a cafe or restaurant. The woman's pose and the selfie perspective indicate she is capturing herself in this urban setting. The building's facade features a sign with Greek lettering, indicating the likely location in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where such establishments can be found.

In this image, the words "Виктор Гюго" are stenciled in white on a rough, reddish-orange textured wall. To the left, a framed book with a pale yellow cover is displayed. The book has Russian text on its spine and cover, reading "Н.Г. ЧЕРНЫШЕВСКИЙ ЧТО ДЕЛАТЬ?". To the right, another framed object is visible, containing a smaller book or document with a portrait and Russian text that also appears to say "ЧТО ДЕЛАТЬ?". The lighting casts shadows on the wall, suggesting an indoor setting, possibly a museum or exhibition space. The overall impression is that of an art installation or historical display.
