My shot of the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church that would not fit in with the last post…A vary pretty - very modern Russian Orthodox Church (especially with those sunbeams streaming in!). (I still need help formatting my pictures. Feel free to contact me if you are a Tumblr expert!)

Here’s a quick look at the great time I had at the 35th Annual Baltimore Ukrainian Festival 2 weeks ago… definitely looking forward to going again next year: September 8th and 9th 2012. (These people are organized!)

Our first day in St. Petersburg was crazy. We got in really early, checked into our hotel room, slept for a few hours, had breakfast, switched hotel rooms (complication of rooms due to last-minute travel changes due to Moscow smoke) possibly slept some more - can’t remember, and finally made it out into the city. We basically just took the metro to Nevsky and walked around taking pictures. At this point we had been in Russia for a few days, but really hadn’t had time to enjoy anything yet. This is Church of Spilled Blood, aka Храм Спаса на Крови. I just love how it looks like a typical European city street, and then there’s this crazy beautiful cathedral in the background.
