Sun Beams Between Towers of St. Basil’s Cathedral

The picture of St. Basil’s Cathedral against the sun was taken on the Red Square during partial solar eclipse in central Moscow on March 20, 2015 at 13:20 when maximum eclipse (65%) was occurred. Unfortunately, I had not special filters for my camera to get this rare for our attitude phenomenon, but anyway consider this photo as an image of the day and hope you like it.

The cathedral of the Intercession on the Moat, which in the last couple of centuries became better known as St. Basil’s Cathedral, with it unusual combination of domes, artful forms and overall harmony is superb, unmatched masterpiece of Russian architecture built in 1555-1561 by first Russian Tsar Ivan IV (The Terrible).
