From Russia

This came sometime this week, I forget when. I had to write to the sender to ask what this building is and she replied,
"Good day!
This postcard shows Peterhof.
Peterhof is a town within the Petrodvortsovy District of the federal city of Saint Petersburg on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland (population 64,791 in 2002). A series of palaces and gardens, laid out on the orders of Peter the Great, and sometimes called the "Russian Versailles", is also situated there. The palace-ensemble along with the city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site."
