The Chesme Church (Russian: Чесменская церковь; full name Church of Saint John the Baptist at Chesme Palace, also called the Church of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, Russian: це́рковь Рождества́ Иоа́нна Предте́чи при Че́сменском Дворце́), is a small Russian Orthodox church at 12 Lensoveta Street, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It was built by the Russian court architect Yury Felten in 1780, at the direction of Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. A memorial church, it was erected adjacent to the Chesme Palace (Russian: Чесменский дворец: damaged during the Siege of Leningrad and restored in 1946) between Saint Petersburg and Tsarskoye Selo to commemorate the anniversary of Russia's 1770 victory over Turkish forces in Chesme Bay (Turkish: Çeşme) in the Aegean Sea during the Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774.
The church and Chesme Palace were the earliest Neo-Gothic constructions in the St Petersburg area. Considered by some to be St Petersburg's single most impressive church, it is a rare example of very early Gothic Revival influence in Russian church architecture.

PS - to all of my good Flickr friends, please be patient with me as I post all of these gosh-darn birds! I'm still enjoying the new lens…but when spring finally blooms I'll move on to something else:)
Not really sure what these guys are doing here. Looks like they are either putting in some framing for small windows, or they are taking a break. I just thought it was a cool pic.

What looks likely to be my last sunny shot of 2021 saw me finally get the Construction livery 66. Even though that day was the first time I saw it since it got painted. 66793 seen passing Kirby Bellars with the 6M60 1107 Whitemoor yard - Mountsorrel sidings 10/12/21. (Taken using a pole)
