The Ascension Monastery was founded in 1690 by the bishop of Tambov and Kozlovski, St. Pitirim, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful mansions in the diocese of Tambov. The monastery is located on the northern outskirts of the city at the mouth of Alexander Hawrushka Studentsov and the rivers, and his first abbess was the sister of Bishop Pitirim, Catherine. The fate of the rich monastery was burning, and was then rebuilt, where it maintained its fertile icon within its walls, and was closed for a long period during Soviet power, which revived in the 20th century. But everything began peacefully and as in many other Russian monasteries, the poor were gradually expanded and rebuilt for several centuries. Initially, in its territory 18 cells of the nuns have been built, this was a simple hut of wood, there was not even church or clergy. The monastery received full-time status on the reform of Catherine II in 1764, since the sum of the contents did not reach 375 rubles. The first stone church of the Ascension of the Lord was established a hundred years later, those of the monastery in 1791. In 1816 was laid the first stone of the second church of the monastery. It was truly glorious days when they arrived at the monastery in the first half of the 19th century, where the nun Miropiya (Adenkova in the world) settled. It is from its name that it is associated with the exaltation of the miraculous Vyshenskii (Kazan) of the icon of the Virgin.
Тамбовский Вознесенский женский основан в 1690 году епископом Тамбовским и Козловским, святителем Питиримом. Монастырь расположился на северной окраине города в устье рек Студенца и Гаврюшки (сейчас — пересечение улиц имени Бориса Васильева и Московской). Первой игуменьей обители стала родная сестра владыки Питирима — Екатерина. Акты и грамоты об основании обители сгорели во время пожара 1724 года. Возродился монастырь только к 1744 году, тогда же была возведена монастырская стена. Как и во многих русских обителях, становление Вознесенского монастыря проходило в бедности, расширялся и отстраивался он постепенно, на протяжении нескольких веков. Сначала на его территории появились 18 келий для насельниц — простые деревянные избы, не было поначалу ни собственного храма, ни причта. Во время реформы Екатерины II в 1764 году монастырь получил статус штатного, третьеклассного, с суммой содержания в 375 рублей. Первая каменная церковь обители во имя Вознесения Господня была заложена в 1791 году в южной части монастыря.

New York City - January 4, 2023: Russ & Daughters located at 179 East Houston Street opened in 1914. It is a family-operated store, that has been at the same location on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City since 1920.
In the Appenzell Alpstein, more precisely on the Schwägalp, a path with many small lanterns leads through the forest during the cold and dark season. This is of course beautiful when there is also snow.
We have completed the path shortly after the sun has set. The golden and the blue hour, but also afterwards in the darkness showed great moods. Fortunately, the trail is not too long, because it was freezing cold. This was good for the quality of the pictures, but was at the expense of cold fingers :-)

The Tour Incity is high and visible from far away. And thus he strongly shapes the skyline of Lyon. But just as interesting as the height and the many floors is what is at the foot of the skyscraper. It is Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse...the name says it all. Here, every hungry mouth will find something tasty.
And if the sun helps a little in the golden hour, a modern somewhat cool skyscraper with a lot of glass, almost becomes a romantic spot in the middle of Lyon.

...because I got asked a lot about the sunrays: They are *not* edited / fake. They are real! It's just the interaction of the right moment in time and the right camera settings, then there is no need to fake it in post :-)

This Hungarian stilt village is built in a lake that never freezes over due to the power plant that uses it as a cooling pond. The neighbouring towns of Bokod and Oroszlány, have more than two linear miles of cabins and cottages suspended on stilts over Lake Bokodi. The little houses are mostly used by locals in the summer months, but they also cater to year-round anglers who take advantage of one weird fact about the lake — despite the frigid Hungarian winters, it rarely freezes over.

During the blue hour, Hallstatt reveals a quieter side. The village slows down, the streets empty, and artificial light gently takes over from the fading sky. Warm streetlights guide the eye through the narrow road, while the church tower rises calmly from the misty backdrop of the mountains.
This moment was about balance. Cool ambient light meeting warm highlights. Texture in the stone walls, subtle reflections on the asphalt, and depth created by layers of architecture and atmosphere. Nothing dramatic, yet full of presence.
Hallstatt is often photographed for its iconic viewpoints, but scenes like this define its true character. Intimate, timeless, and quietly cinematic.

The Church of St. Vladimir was built on the site of a medieval cruciform church in the mid-19th century. The church is devoted to Kyivan Prince Vladimir, who, according to the Rus Chronicle, was baptized in Chersonesos. Academician F. I. Chagin and architect D. I. Grimm, architects of the church, designed this two-story building with one chapel on each floor. The chapel of the Nativity of the Mother of God of Korsun' is located on the ground floor; St. Vladimir chapel is on the first floor.
The remains of the cruciform church where the prince of Rus' was initially supposed to have been baptized are preserved on the ground floor of the modern church.
Свято-Владимирский кафедральный собор в Херсонесе - православная святыня, которая увековечила принятие христианства князем Владимиром. Храм-памятник поражает своим величием, красотой и пропорциональностью линий. Свято-Владимирский собор был заложен в 1861 году. На церемонии присутствовала царская семья. Первый камень в основание собора заложил император Александр II. Он же утвердил проект будущего храма на территории Херсонесского монастыря. Автором проекта выступил академик архитектуры Давид Гримм. Интересно, что Свято-Владимирский собор в Херсонесе стал первым выдающимся сооружением, которое спроектировал этот архитектор.
