Shining Romanov’s Two-Headed Eagle and Griffin in Winter Sunset

Snow-covered top of the Romanov’s (Romanovsky) monument with shining Double-headed Eagle and Griffin with sword and shield in Alexander Garden in warm colors of the golden hour in the winter sunset.

The four-sided obelisk of Finnish granite crowned with a gilded double-headed eagle, the main element of the coat of arms of the Russian Empire. At the top of the obelisk placed the coat of arms of the Romanov boyars — a Griffin with sword and shield. Below inscribed the names of the tsars and emperors of the Romanov dynasty from Mikhail Fyodorovich to Nicholas II (one the picture can be read in Russian only first names from the list, of tsar Michael and tsar Alexis).
