A night-time shot

Not shot by yours truly but one of the better images of where I am paid as a singer:

Nice ... so beautiful and inviting. I bet the interior is equally as splendid.

Hello Krummhorn,

Oh yes, the interior will change according to what Feast is celebrated - Christmas and Easter Liturgies have the Cathedral interior in an exquisite setting.

Here's a shot when the Cathedral hosts the annual Sobor (Council) when the issues of the whole Russian Orthodox Church are discussed:

CD What fantastic photographs, and what spectacular architecture. Must be a great place to live. (Loved some of the translated captions as well).

I did not realise you were a singer. When will we get some links?.

Hello GrandDame Margaret,

You're welcome. There are so many great shots of the Cathedral interior on the web its almost impossible to choose which are the better ones.

Gorgeous! I had the privilege some years ago of attending a wedding in a small Russian Orthodox Church. Not as elaborate as this one but still splendid in its own right.
