Monastery behind the hill Photo

Photographer’s Note

So here's a Rozhdestvensky (The Nativity) Monastery in Rostov the Great. Situated next to the Kremlin, behind the low hill. Founded in XIV century by Archbishop Theodor, first stone building - Church of Nativity of Jesus Christ - is one at the right, made in 1670. Others added in XVIII century.
***
Here you can see the traditional for Rostov color of the domes - here they are steel-and wooden-grey.
In Yaroslavl usual color for domes is green, in Moscow is golden and blue and in the North usual color is black.

Hallo from Germany!
This is a "landscape of steeples" - a wonderful sight! The light you caught here creates a somehow solemn atmosphere. This impression is emphasized by the special color of the domes. For me one of your best - also because of the shown ...
Greetings from summerly and sunny Germany!

Zdravo Uhu. I get the impression that I am watching this splendid scene as I drift down the river.Wonderful POV, almost like craning one's neck to look at the life over the bank.beautiful play of light and excellent details. Lovely mixture of vegetation (Nature) and man made structures.Pozdrav. Klaudio.

Uhu,
Nice composition showing this repeating pattern of spires. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. The trees and shrubs frame the scene nicely while providing nice color contrast to the white and blue of the buildings and sky.
TFS,
Asa

Bonjour Uhu.

Les dômes d'argent ressortent parfaitement sur l'azur du ciel. La lumière est ici excellente. J'aime le premier plan de verdure.
