Photographer's Note
On March 3, Bulgaria's National Day,I could't resist to shoot the St. Nedelya church at dusk. Due to the almost spring weather, the sky had this gorgeos deep blue color, on which the soft lighting of the church seemed to me just splendid.
Here some historical info:
The St. Nedelya Church is located in the very centre of Bulgaria's Capital. Although a church had been raising at this place since medieval times, the current building dates from the mid-19th century. In April 1925 the church was almost destroyed following a communist terrostist attack, when 123 people were killed.
Now fully rebuilt, the church is a visited place by tourists and a popular choice for weddings.

Nice night shot here. I probably would have cropped a bit more from the bottom in order to emphatize more the dome. The nocturnal lights are really attractive.
Well done!
