 Peterhof Palace and Grounds - The Grand Palace After lunch, we traveled on a very congested two lane highway in the rain for one hour to get here. |
 Still more gold |
 The landscaping is exceptional, as would be expected |
 |
 A series of palaces and gardens, laid out on the orders of Peter the Great, and sometimes called the "Russian Versailles", is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. |

 Reservoirs behind the Grand Palace provide the water and pressure for all the fountains (no pumps) |
