This isn't a photo taken in Moscow but 2 minutes walk from the Royal palace in Copenhagen. It's the St. Aleksander Nevskij Church which is a Russian Orthodox church shared with all the Orthodox Christians in Denmark. It's named after the Russian folk hero Alexander Nevsky, best known for his victory over the Teutonic Knights. The church was a gift from the Danish Princess Dagmar when she married Prince Alexander of Russia who later became Zar Alexander III.
I love the angle of your shot...and the way you selected to emphasize the domes in your composition...you could have chosen so many ways to shoot this, but I think your choice makes this profoundly interesting...out of the ordinary! Simply wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe only note out of simmetry are the small bells in the left niche. Great image, so well taken.
ReplyDeleteA very impressive church
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo, and such an impressive series of church photos in the past few days.
ReplyDeleteThis shot was the only angle that made sense as the church is wedged in between houses on a narrow street. I haven't been inside. I've been told too that it's beautiful, but it's very difficult to get access as it's not open to the public. I haven't been able to find out if it's possibel at all. I'll keep trying though.
