    This is great - the colors and the beautiful balance of the composition. At first I thought it was Russian Orthodox. If I had time today, I'd research the architecture, I'm sure it's fascinating.

    The bench is terrific but the architecture behind it is spectacular. Great combo. The photo is brilliant too.

    Tapirgal, you are right, it IS Russian Orthodox. The cathedral was begun in 1911 and consecrated in 2007. More about it in my posts and Comments under Gorny label.

    Wonderful photo, Dina. The church is stunning, of course, and I so like the bench... but I'm not sure if they work together for me.
