Not many exist in Siberia... I'm not sure if they were pulled down in Stalinist times or if they just never existed. The Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood was my favourite. St Basil's might have been had it not had scaffolding around it when I visited! Red Square was shut too as the Czeczens had set off a bomb and so they were on security alert, so we couldn't really get close to St Basils. We were allowed to walk to see Lenin, but we were not permitted to stop to take photos!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167739272302561918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652279121873384331.post-86726770222122624982015-07-24T12:37:34.042+01:002015-07-24T12:37:34.042+01:00 Thanks for the photos....

Curious now if all the domes have a significance.

There is no way such marvels could be built in this day and age--way too expensive. Such craftsmanship. Way back in 2008 when construction hit the skids here in the United States, Mark and I had put a deposit on a Baltic cruise. We have always wanted to visit St. Petersburg, and the cruise ship had an overnight stay there. We were so disappointed when we had to cancel due to finances. So again, I live vicariously through your beautiful photos.Live a Colorful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06258513987513144582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652279121873384331.post-29055266180092997772015-07-23T21:31:18.386+01:002015-07-23T21:31:18.386+01:00Incredible!
