Christmas snow & sunshine, beautiful.

Famous beautiful Russian architecture. Onion shaped tower tops. A pleasure to look at. How could you find a view without power lines in the air? It must be located outside of the city or so.

Peter, if I would make one-two steps backward then you'll never saw this picture. There was a big avenue behind me, full of moving cars and power lines above.
I have used perspective tool to strighten cathedral's walls, but since building is tall and I was too close it looks not like in a "real life". I guess I need other lens for this building.

You know the church, Sergey, some of us not. For us the shot is just perfect. Also you left so much sky above the roof as if cables were not a problem for you at all in that particular moment.

I'm glad you like it, thank you! I will try to make another shot showing the whole environment here. Maybe from river side?

EDIT: You also can see it on this picture:

Nicely lit image. I like the soft subtle colours with the gold contrast.
