Russian Orthodox Churches
More then 1000 years the Christian faith is in Russia and the architecutre of the Russian Orthodox Churches reflects the Russian national character and soul of Russian people. Russian architecture has been predominantly religious. Churches were for centuries the only buildings to be constructed of stone, and today they are almost the only buildings that remain from its ancient past.
On that day It was pretty cloudy weather in Moscow. On my road to my house I had marked the beautiful view of the Cathedral the Holy Life-giving Trinity, which domes were shining (sun reflection), but above the Cathedral were a lot of dark clouds. It was like before rain.. I stopped my car immediatly and made several good shots. I think that here is very good contrast of colors which make this picture very attractive...
Some info about the Cathedral from my previous photo:
Today everyone who goes to the Domodedovo airport (the largest airport of Moscow) or arriving through this gate to the capital of Russia, can see the breathtaking panoramic view of the Holy Trinity Cathedral. You can observe the majestic multi-domed temple with its belfry, chapel, towers and the bridge gate connecting it to the Kashirskoe highway.
The Cathedral of the Holy Life-giving Trinity was built on the 1,000 year anniversary of the Christening of Russia. It was built approximately one year ago (2004) in Orehovo-Borisovo which is in the southern part of the city.
