On vacation - St. Petersburg, Russia
The gorgeous Chuch on Spilled Blood.
Inside, every surface is covered with intricate mosaics. I'm not a religious person, and have never been interested in Orthodox icons, but I was knocked out by the beauty of this place.
Looking up towards one of the many domes.
One of the few representations of Jesus alone. The following day I saw something similar in a Metro station.
If you're interested in more pictures of churches and other buildings in St. Petersburg, be sure to visit Wandering Camera, a huge collection of photos and commentary on the city and its suburbs, created by Peter Sobolev.
