Mr. Spock Learns the Russian History
In
Vladimir, Spock visits the Church of the Intercession on the Nerl, built
in 1165.
"1165
in Stardates is -3718.75 according to my calculations."
Spock
visits the Golden Gate, which leads into the town of Vladimir.
"Illogical.
This building is not gold and neither is there a gate."
Spock
at the grand Assumption Cathedral (aka the Dormition Cathedral) in Vladimir.
"The
artwork in this religious center is as beautiful as it is old."
At
the entrance to Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Spock is ready to
experience some of the world's greatest artworks.
"Someone
needs to clean this man's toenails."
In
Saint Petersburg, Spock enjoys the fountains of the Peterhof.
"Ah,
the beauty of flowing water is relaxing."
Still
at Peterhof, Spock admires the beauty of this large fountain.
"The
aquatic engineering is ingenious."
Spock
visits the beach on the Gulf of Finland.
"This
is the northernmost place on Earth I have ever been."
Spock
(not pictured) visits the famous Red Square. To the far
right (barely seen) is the Kremlin. The small building on the right
is Lenin's tomb, the far cathedral is St. Basil's Cathedral, and the buildings
on the left are a large shopping center.
