Walk on Wednesday around the Naval Cathedral in Kronstadt (8 photos)

in Wednesday Walk3 years ago (edited)

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Maybe I'm doing everything wrong. I am sure of only one thing, some things I am doing exactly wrong.

I do not attend church services and do not perform rituals, do not observe fasts ... But I respect the traditions and culture of my people. And some Christian churches delight me with their forms and energy.

Yes, temples were built in special places. You certainly remember this sign when a cat is first launched into a new house. Where she settles down to sleep, they put a bed, this is the quietest place in the house. Energetically good.

Of course, no one launches cats into temples. The site for the temple is chosen by Knowledgeable people. Often temples were erected on the sites of pagan temples and sacred groves. Why am I saying all this?

The temple, which I will show you now, has a very good strong energy. He stands at the right place. This is the Naval Cathedral in Kronstadt.

This majestic building is painted in the colors of the St. Andrew's flag - white and blue, with golden domes on top. In front of it there is a wide area paved with cobblestones. If Kronstadt is a sea fortress, then this temple is a symbol of sea glory.

I have no decent words to describe all this. I'll just show you different angles and some close-ups.

This is the work of two different lenses. Close-ups are taken with an unbranded lens. Its focal length is approximately 100 mm.
Please note that every inch of this building has its own relief.

If we consider every detail of the facade in detail, then probably a whole day will not be enough.
Therefore, let's just look at this temple from afar from unusual angles. We are still walking.

I to love old optics, I know I have a couple of old lenses here somewhere, perhaps in a box I havent unpacked since i moved, I must look for them and try them out again

Oh, it will be interesting, show us the possibilities of your old lenses! :)

I just need to find the motivation and energy to search through the boxes
I thought I had opened the boxes with all my camera gear only thought about the old lenses after your post

It was interesting to read your post, @bambuka. I am absolutely on your side re religion - church services are not what I attend but I also respect the culture of my people.
I remember visiting Kronstadt when I was a student in St.-Petersburg. It impressed me that time but now it looks even more beautiful.
Чудесные фото, спасибо!

Glad to see you @olgavita and thank you for your kind words!
Respect for the culture of your people ... I don't know what could be more important than that. Otherwise, the country loses its roots and disappears as such. And this applies not only to religion, it is history and much more.
I have been to Kronstadt several times, but I don’t know even a tenth of its treasures :)
