A quick visit to Russia to see Vyborg's Market Place!!

Vyborg is between Helsinki (Finland) and St Petersburg..and there is a three hour time difference.  Come back in a minute and the picture  may have changed!!

Do they see the Northern Lights in Vyborg?  ... now that would be something on a live web cam!  What do you say, Jim?

Its midnight in Brentford...and in Vyborg its 3am.Its pitch black outside in Brentford..yet its still only semi light in Vyborg's Market Place.In June,they only have about 2 hours darkness in June. Odd that!

Lucy:Forum viewers wishing to go via a url to the Vyborg siteshould type into their address bar  www.vbg.ruHate to think that the pictures area pain!

These pictures are fun, but my internet access is fast.  I should imagine that people on slower systems must find them a pain.
