The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (Estonian: Aleksander Nevski katedraal, Russian: Александро-Невский собор) is an orthodox cathedral on Toompea hill in central Tallinn, Estonia. It was built to a design by Mikhail Preobrazhensky in a typical Russian Revival style in 1894–1900,[1] when the country was part of the Russian Empire. The cathedral is Tallinn's largest orthodox cupola church. It is dedicated to the grand prince of Kiev, and later saint, Alexander Nevsky who in 1242 won the Battle of the Ice on Lake Peipus, near the present-day border between Estonia and Russia. The late Russian patriarch Alexis II started his priestly ministry in the church.

Ironically, this photo was taken with (old) Apple phone, thus the (overly) rich colors. Others are native Nikon colors, with the most modest or natural ’neutral’ setting. Maybe I should try ’standard’ or ’vivid’?

A beautifully detailed capture enhanced by the excellent lighting and spectacular architecture. Ver nicely composed. VVV
