Bridges (Part II) by Canadienne
Located near the Summer Gardens and Mikhailovsky Castle, the Panteleimon Bridge (Panteleymonsky most) was built in 1907 by the engineer Andrei Pchenitsky. Subtler in decoration than many of the other bridges, I had to admit I was initially drawn to visit it due to its threadbare association with one of my favourite books ~ The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman.A very neat, but easily missed item, is a small metal statue of a bird located in the of the canal corners of the bridge. People were gathered around this corner, trying to land their spare change on the statue?s platform. Good luck and fortune await the lucky person who does. . .
