[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
About 80 Kms south of Beograd this magnificent orthodox church sits on top of a small mountain. I forget the name of the town now, but going inside this place takes your breath away, hundreds of thousands of small mosaic pieces create incredible portraits and scenes. You can also visit a number graves of Yugolave royalty in the basement. You must visit this place if you visit Serbia.
Resized, cropped and adjusted colors with MS PictureIt.
Cheers

Thanks for posting this one.The town is called Topola, and this hill with church on top of it is called Oplenac.From recenty this monument is a church, it was only a mausoleum of the Karadjordjevic royal family.About the photo, i like the composition and the contrast.Good job.
Best,
Ivica
