Russian Chapel, Mathildenhöhe
Built from 1897-1899 in the centre of an art nouveau artists' colony, though this church does not show any art nouveau design elements. It was built on Russian soil that had been imported from Russia by train so that Tsar Nikolai II, who had married a Darmstadt princess, Queen Victoria's grand daughter Alix, could worship in style when he came to visit his wife's family.
The squinty finder, compounded by the fact that it is partially obscured by a thick rubber band that keeps the camera back from popping open, makes image composition rather tricky. I should have aimed further down and more to the left.
