Beschreibung

The Peterhof Palace is a series of palaces andgardens located in Saint Petersburg, Russia, laid out on the ordersof Peter the Great. These Palaces and gardens are sometimesreferred as the "Russian Versailles". The palace-ensemble alongwith the city centre is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Perhaps the greatest technological achievement of Peterhof isthat all of the fountains operate without the use of pumps. Wateris supplied from natural springs and collects in reservoirs in theUpper Gardens. The elevation difference creates the pressure thatdrives most of the fountains of the Lower Gardens, including theGrand Cascade. The Samson Fountain is supplied by a specialaqueduct, over four km in length, drawing water and pressure from ahigh-elevation source.

The "purpose" of Peterhof was as a celebration and claim toaccess to the Baltic (while simultaneously, Peter the Great wasalso expanding on the Black Sea littoral). Thus Peterhofcommemorates the imperial expansion and modernization of Russia.Inside the Peterhof there are many paintings of sea battles by thefamous Ivan Aivazovsky.

If you’re not sure what live wallpapers are, they’re a type ofapplication that works on a mobile device using the Androidoperating system (like your device!). The application works as awallpaper – providing the background image for the home screen—butalso works as a conventional application since it can provideuser-interaction with the touch screen (allowing the image tochange dynamically, for example) and access other hardware andsoftware features within the device (accelerometer, GPS, networkaccess, etc.).

**Multiple backgrounds!** Switch up the background as often oras little as you like with user-configurable options.

**Power saving features!** This app uses much less power thantypical live wallpapers. It will take a bit more power to operatethan a normal wallpaper, but much, much less battery power than theaverage live wallpaper.

**Super easy to use!** Upon install the app will bring up theoptions menu and then immediately let you set the wallpaper. Nohassle and easy to use!

**Translated to 35 languages!** Do you really, really want tolearn Russian? We didn’t think so, but it’s available just in case,in any language your phone can display!

Please note that live wallpapers can’t be set automatically.We’ll bring you to the setup screen where you’ll select the livewallpaper. We’d love to do it automatically but Android doesn’tallow it. Maybe some day.
