RE: Anichkov Bridge - Art, Architecture, & History in One
You are getting really good at making these videos. There were a few it was hard to hear you, but now the sound is better and you have music and everything. You missed your calling, you would have made a great teacher.
Amazing they moved those large statues to preserve them. I wonder how many men and machines it took for them to ensure they didn't get damaged from the move itself.
There are some great photos of the move. They used sleds to take them off the pedestals with ropes tied for support from different angles. Replacing them was easier because they had machinery. Digging the holes for burial was one of the most difficult tasks because Piter is essentially on a swamp. Dig too deep and you hit water.
I appreciate you noticing my steady improvement in the video sphere. I am using Steemit as my self-development classroom with this. Soon, we are going to start shooting street musicians in a new #payitforward project that pays larger sums to great musicians that are playing for only "small change".
Talk to you again soon. Great to see you.
