I love taking photographs, and I took some nice ones (if I don’t say so myself) on my recent cruise. Here is a sampling:




Jet lagged at 4 in the morning, I had a mirrored elevator all to myself. Fun ensued.






Dawn on the Baltic.




An Estonian convent destroyed by Ivan the Terrible





St. Petersburg: the Church of the Spilled Blood built on the site of the assassination of Czar Alexander II.




Seeing the Czar’s Summer Palace makes one understand the Revolution.

Dear Reader,

You have a decision to make: double or nothing.

For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.

In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.

So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?

Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
GIVE NOW
