Fat, old and deep in the earth Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here's Mirozhsky Monastery in Pskov, Cathedral of Transfiguration of Christ, built in year 1156. Cathedral is famous because of uts frescoes, 80% of the original frescoes, made my Bysantic painters, are survived and covering the walls of the cathedral.
Building is very fat-looking now, because it's sink deep into the earth, at least on 1,5 meters. Also territory of the monastery is all covered in trees, so it's hard to find a spot to shot whole cathedral. I found only this opening in the park.

Привет! Судя по всему, ты где-то недалеко.Жирный и старый, говоришь.Ну да, почти 900 лет!А Псковичи тоже кириллицей пользовались? Они из Киева её взяли? У них язык похож был?

Hello Uhu,
You found the perfect opening in the trees in the park. The natural frame makes your picture very beautiful and gives it a strong contrast between the dark park and the white monastery.
Well done, Paul
