Richard Carlisle, Ladies in waiting prepare to flee the capital (Single Shot 2019)

Taken in early January of 2019 outside of the Catherine palace in St Petersburg. It was a cold and windy day, these ladies in the sled were waiting for somewhere to buy a sleigh ride around the Alexander park, rugged up and sheltering from the cold. Having just toured the Catherine palace I had Tsarist notions running through my mind, the rugged up ladies on a horse drawn sleigh looked taken out of the history books, so I had to capture it.
