Hate to post similar images, but this cathedral dominates the city along with Helsinki Cathedral, and it looked simply spectacular in the sun.

Great capture and light, Helen. Did you know that it is one of two only in Europe Orthodox churches with 13 domes? The other is in Hrubieszow, Poland. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerkiew_Za%C5%9Bni%C4%99cia_Naj%C5%9Bwi%C4%99tszej_Maryi_Panny_w_Hrubieszowie The number 13 goes for Jesus and 12 Apostles.

Superb details, colors and contrasts. The brickwork and the intricacy of the design are amazing. "V"
