The video shows a view across a cobblestone square in front of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia, at dusk. A busker stands on the square near the Alexander Column and plays a musical instrument, likely a saxophone. A couple of small groups of people are walking or sitting on the square and listening to the music. The Winter Palace is lit with bright lights, and a large red banner is hanging on the building. The sky is a deep blue color. The video appears to have been taken with a mobile phone.
