Walk along Petrozavodsk Embankment of Onego Lake

   2 kilometres of red granite blocks and other elements along the edge of Petrozavodsk bay...

Petrozavodsk embankment of Onego lake is a place of nice views and curious monuments.

Photos are taken along all the embankment, from its oldest end to the newest one...

The oldest part of the embankment, larger elements of the parapet are made of iron

Cargo harbor of Petrozavodsk can be seen on the way into the open lake. One of the granite blocks has been "knocked out" by waves of Onego

 

Cargo port, closer view

Large motor ship standing near a pier of passenger port

A hydrofoil has left the pier just a minute ago and goes to Kizhi island

Smaller ships are not exception to see here

  They are quite good choice for water trips on Onego, especially during a hot and windless day...



Further along the embankment



One of two cannons standing near the granite parapet

One of numerous strange monuments

Though not so strange, at least you've got some ideas about what you see

We "came" to the newest part of the embankment

Rotunda standind in front of the wedding palace (pink building) and the city's administration (farther behind it)
