Saborna crkva Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is an ortodox church of "Hilandar" monastery on Agion Oros, Greece. Eastern part of this church was built by king Milutin in 1302. on foundation of much older church (that older church was built by St. Sava and his father St. Simeon in 1198.- same time when "Hilandar" monastery was founded).
King's Milutin church was rebuilt two more times, last time in 1380. (or so, I'm not sure) by knez Lazar. Because of him, that last added part of church is called "Lazareva priprata (Lazar's nartex").
Anyway, this object is one of the most representative churches built in Byzantine style.

Well, well, well. I start to think that learning Serbo-Croatian language could be an easy task for me. Saborna crkva will sound in russian like sobornaya cerkov'. Funny.
It's a good photo, you made it from something very high?

Zdravo, Aleksa.

Jako dobar ugao slikanja, slika je oštra i crkva je lepo osvetljena i puno je detalja i na senci i na svetlu.
Malo mi se ne dopada što su stranice crkve navaljene sa desna prema levo, jako vrtoglava slika, ne znam dali si to imao na umu :))
Inače, crkva je predivna.

Pozdrav, Aleksandar
