Just the perfectness Photo

Photographer’s Note

This cathedral is called "of the Savior and Transfiguration" - just the same name as at my previous picture.

It was built 851 years ago, in 1157, and I heard sometime that this is one of two anctent Russian churches with "perfect" geometrical proportions. The second is here.

Although I'm not sure about the geometry, it looks really perfect.

It is located in a center of old towm Pereslavl-Zalessky which stays just in the middle between Moscow and Yaroslavl.

Ага, ага. А они докрасили те церкви, что сзади стоят, на площади? Когда я там был в октябре-ноябре все в лесах было и вообще очень некрасиво.

Hello Igor,

The Russian church architecture is very special and can be found nowhere else!
Like this design with the colourful roof, very attractive...
Good details in the building, pity the sky is a bit weak!

Greetings,
