At dusk, a sandy beach borders a paved walkway along the Neva Bay in Saint Petersburg, Russia. A tall, slender tower with a glowing white light at its apex stands prominently on a pier extending into the bay. To the right of this tower, a distinctive, needle-shaped skyscraper, illuminated with blue lights, dominates the city skyline. Further to the right, a lamppost with a flag on top stands beside a row of streetlights lining the walkway. Several indistinct figures are visible on the beach and along the walkway, some sitting and others standing. The sky is a deep blue, transitioning to darker hues as night falls, with faint clouds present. The water of the bay is dark and calm, reflecting the ambient light.
