Моё любимое место в Санкт-ПетербургеВ жизни у каждого человека есть любимые места, куда он периодически возвращается независимо от своей занятости и возможности. У меня тоже есть такие места. С каждым из этих мест связано что-то очень важное в моей жизни, вычеркнуть чего я никогда не решусь. В моём родном Санкт-Петербурге у меня есть любимое место – Летний сад.Санкт-Петербург хорош всегда, в любую погоду и во всякое время года. Но каждый его уголок, каждый памятник имеет свою излюбленную пору, когда он до конца раскрывается перед нами. Для Летнего сада такая счастливая пора – золотые дни осени. Расцвечённый её парадными красками, он торжественно задумчив и величав.Я люблю гулять по Петербургу, а Летний сад, на мой взгляд, – это один из самых лучших и красивейших мест в нашем городе. Такое впечатление у меня возникло при первом его посещении. Самым красивым Летний сад бывает осенью. Листья деревьев перекликаются с золочёными орнаментами ограды, жарко горят в прозрачном воздухе раскидистые кроны деревьев. Бледно-жёлтые, янтарные, пурпурные листья ложатся на обнажённые мраморные плечи статуй, на гранитные постаменты, подхваченные ветром, пляшут на аллеях, приятно шуршат под ногами.Также в Летнем саду мне очень нравится Летний домик Петра I. Пётр I очень любил свой Летний дворец. В этом уютном удобном доме, не предназначенном для официальных торжеств и приёмов, царь жил обычно с апреля до октября-ноября. Большинство аллей Летнего сада – это наша история. Стоящая на главной аллее статуя бога времени Сатурна словно напоминает входящим в сад о промелькнувших столетиях. Прямые, как по линейке вычерченные аллеи, ограждены плотными зелёными стенами. В квадратах и прямоугольниках между аллеями расположены ровные ряды странных деревьев: вместо развесистых пушистых крон стволы деревьев венчают шары, кубы, пирамиды. Со стороны это выглядит очень впечатляюще и красиво.А ВОТ ПЕРЕВОД:My favorite place in St. Petersburg In the life of every person has favorite places where he returns periodically, regardless of their employment opportunities. I also have such places. Each of these places is connected is something very important in my life, strike that I never make up my mind. In my hometown of St. Petersburg, I have a favorite place - Summer Garden. St. Petersburg is always good in any weather and at any time of the year. But every corner, every monument is his favorite time, when he is revealed to the end in front of us. For the Summer Garden this happy time - the golden days of autumn. Rastsvechёnny its ceremonial colors, he solemnly thoughtful and majestic. I love to walk in St. Petersburg, and the Summer Garden, in my opinion - is one of the best and most beautiful places in our city. The impression I had at his first visit. The most beautiful summer garden is in the fall. The leaves of the trees overlap with gilded ornaments fence, burning hot in the clear air spreading crown. Pale yellow, amber, purple leaves fall on the shoulders of naked marble statues on a granite pedestal, caught up by the wind, dancing in the alleys, pleasant rustling underfoot. Also in the Summer Garden I really like the Summer House of Peter I. Peter I loved his Summer Palace. This cozy, comfortable home, not intended for official ceremonies and receptions, the king sat usually from April to October and November. Most of the alleys of the Summer Garden - it is our history. Standing on the main avenue of the statue of the god Saturn as if time recalls entering into the garden of centuries flashed. Straight as a ruler drawn alleys, protected by dense green walls. In squares and rectangles between alleys located straight rows of trees strange: instead of spreading crowns fluffy tree trunks crowned with balls, cubes, pyramids. From the outside it looks very impressive and beautiful.
