Hello Jorge,
It would have helped you to learn the Cyrillic alphabet so you could read the signs by yourself. ;-)
But you found the right destination anyway, and this was clearly worth the excursion. It's an amazing conglomeration of fine buildings looking fantastic even on a cloudy day.
Best regards,
Gert

Jorge, that site comprises a cathedral, a church, a memorial, some sanctuaries and a plazza. Its visit must be rewarding to learn a passage of Russian history. The tourists enliven the scene. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hello Jorge,

I have often wondered about the difficulty of travelling in countries where the language is very different and possibly very difficult; obviously there are situations where it would be impossible, without the help of a kind person. Maybe lots of forward planning is necessary but ... you still need help at stations!
Fortunately, everything turned out right in the end, and you were able to see and record these quite beautiful buildings. The domes, supporting crosses are very reminiscent of those on buildings in Moscow.
Religious buildings are in abundance, considering how such buildings were actively suppressed.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Jorge
An interesting story about getting there. The little chapels to the right are unusual and add to an interesting photo.
cheers

Hello Jorge, I was curious if you went to Sergiyev Posad. I liked it very much. This complex of cloisters is the best in Russia (for me). Nice view of the Lawra, but you had bad luck with the weather. With the cloudy sky, it looks less attractive than I remember it. The well is too dark. Besides, the Trinity Church is leaning heavily to the right.
You have always funny adventures with people. You remember such a long time when you think someone is rude to you.
I had some problems with finding the train to Vladimir. I ran about like crazy trying to find the platform 5. It happened, that there were two platforms 5 (one was 5d) in quite a different place. Fortunately, I cam to Kurskaya station well in advance and I found the train just in the last moment, quite without breath.
Best regards MAlgo
