The Grand Cascade, Peterhof Palace, Saint Petersburg, Russia [02:40]
The Grand Cascade, Peterhof Palace, Saint Petersburg, Russia. The waters from all the fountains descending the bank, flow into this semicircular pool, the terminus of the fountain-lined Sea Channel to the Gulf of Finland. The Samson Fountain is in this pool. It depicts the moment when Samson tears open the jaws of a lion, representing Russia's victory over Sweden in the Great Northern War, and is doubly symbolic. The lion is an element of the Swedish coat of arms, and one of the great victories of the war was won on St Samson's Day. From the lion's mouth shoots a 20-meter-high vertical jet of water, the highest in all of Peterhof.
