The video shows the Rostral Columns on Vasilyevsky Island in St. Petersburg, Russia. One of the columns, painted orange and decorated with rostra and anchors, has a large flame burning from its top. A statue of a man, possibly Neptune, sits at the base of the column. Pedestrians can be seen passing by. The sky is a deep blue, indicating that it is nighttime or twilight. Streetlights illuminate the scene.
