20110802 Eggs

Ukrainian painted eggs (pysanky), in the Pechersk Lavra monastery complex. In Kyiv (Kiev).

 

Eggs have been important religious symbols for millenia, especially in Eastern Europe, and the pysanka has been a part of Eastern Orthodox Christian symbolism for over a thousand years.

 

Taken with my Nikon D40, fitted with a Tamron 70-300mm F4/5.6 DI LD (Nikon AFS) lens and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
