2159 The Grand Ballroom. No matter which way you turn to the side there are very bright windows in the picture. Only option is to exclude one wall and get close to the other to minimize the effect. At the far end of the room you can see how the lights are arranged on each side of the mirrors.
2163 The Courtiers-in-Attendance Dining Room. The table is set for the Empresses entourage. The tall blue structures are heating stoves. There's no access to the fuel as there are halls on the outside of the room that allow the staff to put in more wood and take out the ashes without bothering the guests or getting soot in the room.
2224 A Cossack dancer kicking to the side from the crouching position.
2232 Cossack pair in a lively dance.
2243 The ladies in this dance seemed to float effortlessly across the stage. The men remained energetic.
2276 Sunset on the Neva River, just before Midnight. Russians call this time of year "White Nights".
