When everyone is tired of the endless prejudice, we publish photos of the Summer Garden taken in the summer.

Summer garden. Alley from the side of the Swan channel. The difference between the images is 106 years, it is four generations. Very often, the family’s historical memory ends in the third generation. We know about our grandfathers, but whoever was great-grandfather or great-great-grandfather – only a few reach such depths of history.

The photographs of 1913 show entertainment, which were then very popular. This is horse riding and a game of shuttlecock (an analogue of modern badminton).
Currently, the Summer Garden has become a museum exposition. It is filled not only with groups of tourists, but also with townspeople who prefer a quiet vacation. It is especially good to stroll through the garden on a summer day until noon. Fresh coolness has not yet been replaced by heat; there are few visitors in the garden. You can sit on a bench, read a book or just walk along the alleys.
