| [Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista |
Lithuania , Kaunas ,
Sat splendidly at the far eastern end of Laisvės, the imposing St. Michael the Archangel, known in the local vernacular as Soboras, started life in 1893 as a Russian Orthodox Cathedral, which explains its classic neo-Byzantine design, albeit with the unusual inclusion of Corinthian columns. Originally built for the Russian soldiers based in the city, the church was handed over to the (Catholic) Lithuanian army at the end of WWI and with the exception of an incarnation as an art gallery during the Soviet occupation has been a military church all its life. The church’s haunting catacombs are generally open to the public and can be found just to the right of the main entrance. |

Great symmetry and I like the branch sticking out in the upper right. This looks like a rustic cathedral. Great colors and sharpness. The clarity is good too.
