I know what you mean Julie. I only discovered this impressive looking church last year, when I happened to drive past it. I had to stop the car and take a photo.
So spectacular with the onion domes. I was in awe of this architecture during the one day I spent in St. Petersburg, Russia on a cruise a few years back. My post today was also of a Russian Orthodox Cathedral in San Francisco. Sadly, photographs are not allowed of the interior and, to even gain entrance, you must attend a service.
I'm Russian and I've not been able to visit a good ole Russian Orthodox church yet with great architecture. I grew up in a Russian Baptist church in Los Angeles...not the same at all except for the language :)
I actually grabbed a pic of this one, whilst attending visiting. Fun Fact: There is another Russian Church 2 streets away, exept it is protestant and has no domes.
It does look a little like the Cathedral of the Dormition in Moscow.
ReplyDeleteYou have quite a diverse selection of churches and architecture.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea many of these even existed ... and I worked at Lidcombe for 15 months! Must remind myself not to watch my feet ...

ReplyDeleteI would not have expected a church like that in Sydney. You learn something everyday here.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful building!
ReplyDeleteWow! It is beautiful! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteThe domes on Russian Orthodox churches are a wonderful sight. Tom The Backroads Traveller
