Attila, The conference was Euro-Asian Symposium "Trends in MAGnetism" (EASTMag-2013). It was held on the same campus where APEC was held in 2012, on Russky Island. Now it is a campus of Far Eastern Federal University..
As for sharpening, - I am not sure, - I've done some substantial sharpening in LR, but I am afraid to oversharpen.

Bruce, I hope it is not the lens, - at least I haven't seen anything wrong with it in other shots since that. Unless, of course, it is the night-flare effect. - It is FA-35/2.0. I don't remember what was the air condition that day. Based on all shots from that night, I suspect that it was probably a combination of the the city-lights polution with some haze in the air, leading to diffuse light in the shot. Here is the other bridge, "Russky" at a distance: http://42graphy.org/misc/_IR09674.jpg . It has even more of that haze. That haze must've spread even into the message, causing the name confusion. Don't worry about it... :-) ("No, I'm not Byrom.. err. Boris, I am, yet, another...") :-) [Boris will get this reference] Igor Sun Nov 24 10:21:12 EST 2013 Bruce Walker wrote: > Fascinating view, Boris. Beautiful architecture there.
