Humans are overrated

I mean they're nice and all, on a one-on-one basis. But get two million of them dressed in cheap-but-oh-so-revealing Chinese clothes, bake them in the sun for a several hours, then cram them all into the same park and you'll get an idea for what it's like to visit the Peterhof in the summer.

The Peterhof is Peter the Great's answer to Versailles, and is even more wild and ostentatious, if you can imagine. The real challenge was taking some photos without huge crowds in them!
