Ain't no dark side here...this is a solemn marriage at Voronet Monastery, Northeastern Romania. Voronet is a part of a string of "Forts," that stretch across the Ukraine boarder in Romania....but they are really Fort Apaches, and served the same function in holding back the Ottoman hoards...though history records that the Victory was at the Third Siege of Vienna in 1683, I believe that these intermittent wars were actually won here in the establishment of these Monasteries...See Sucevita Monastery posted in Pending.

"Have patience, and trouble not thyself. Death comes for us all; even at our birth — even at our birth, death does but stand aside a little. And every day he looks toward us and muses somewhat to himself whether that day or he next he will draw nigh. It is the law of nature, and the will of God. You have long known the secrets of my heart."

Best Wishes, Traveller

This looks like something from the dark side! Paul
