  2. Now THAT is some huge church. Eastern (Russian?) Orthodox? And in which country would that be? It’s magnificent. Black and white is brilliant for architecture.

  8. It just shouts Italian. For a minute I thought it was going to be Venice but as I scrolled down on my phone I saw not. Love the priest to set the scene.
    Have restful rest of the weekend Paula.

      1. Thank you Paula. It was originally just a bland and a bit boring jpeg file, so I did some photoshop magic on it to turn it into something a bit more interesting.

  15. Yes, the angle really makes this special. Such an imposing image, and a great sense of time too, as if this photo had been taken several centuries ago. You’ve been time travelling, Paula, and didn’t tell us 🙂
