The Gergeti Trinity Church, located in Georgia, is situated on a mountain top near the village of Gergeti, near Stepantsminda Kazbegi in the Caucasus region, at an altitude of about 2,170 metres. The first light of dawn in the foreground of the photo enhances the mystical character of the location, while the snow-capped peaks and the dark silhouettes of the church emphasize the dramatic atmosphere of the landscape. This area is popular with hikers and photographers for its breathtaking views and historical value. The impressive snow-capped peaks of Mount Kazbek in the background are illuminated by the golden glow of the rising sun. The Georgian Orthodox church was built in the 14th century and is a beautiful example of medieval Georgian architecture. The church is an important national symbol of Georgia and attracts many pilgrims and tourists every year. Behind the Gergeti Trinity Church lies Kazbek (in Georgian: მყინვარწვერი, Mkinvartsveri), with an altitude of 5,054 meters one of the highest and most famous mountains in Georgia and the Greater Caucasus. Although the mountain is hidden in this photo, Kazbek is known for its impressive presence and mythological significance. Kazbek is an extinct stratovolcano. The name Mkinvartsveri means the Icy Peak in Georgian. The mountain is popular among mountaineers and adventurers. The standard route for the ascent usually starts from Stepantsminda, with the Gergeti Trinity Church serving as the starting point. Kazbek is often covered in snow and ice, which adds to the spectacular and mysterious appearance of the region. On clear days, the summit offers beautiful panoramic views of the Caucasus.

De Gergeti Trinity Church, gelegen in Georgië, bevindt zich op een bergtop bij het dorp Gergeti, nabij Stepantsminda Kazbegi in de Kaukasus-regio, op ongeveer 2170 meter hoogte. Het eerste zonlicht van de ochtend op de voorgrond van de foto versterkt het mystieke karakter van de locatie, terwijl de besneeuwde bergtoppen en de donkere silhouetten van de kerk de dramatische sfeer van het landschap benadrukken. Dit gebied is geliefd bij wandelaars en fotografen vanwege het adembenemende uitzicht en de historische waarde. De indrukwekkende besneeuwde toppen van de Kazbek op de achtergrond worden verlicht door de gouden gloed van de opkomende zon. De Georgisch-orthodoxe kerk is gebouwd in de 14e eeuw en is een prachtig voorbeeld van middeleeuwse Georgische architectuur. De kerk is een belangrijk nationaal symbool van Georgië en trekt jaarlijks veel pelgrims en toeristen. Achter de Gergeti Trinity Church ligt de Kazbek (in het Georgisch: მყინვარწვერი, Mkinvartsveri), met een hoogte van 5.054 meter een van de hoogste en bekendste bergen in Georgië en de Grote Kaukasus. Hoewel de berg op deze foto verscholen is, staat Kazbek bekend om zijn indrukwekkende aanwezigheid en mythologische betekenis. Kazbek is een uitgedoofde stratovulkaan. De naam Mkinvartsveri betekent de IJzige Top in het Georgisch. De berg is populair onder bergbeklimmers en avonturiers. De standaardroute voor de beklimming begint meestal in Stepantsminda, waarbij de Gergeti Trinity Church als startpunt dient. Kazbek is vaak bedekt met sneeuw en ijs, wat bijdraagt aan de spectaculaire en mysterieuze uitstraling van de regio. Op heldere dagen biedt de top een prachtig panoramisch uitzicht over de Kaukasus.

Wikipedia:
The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is an orthodox cathedral in the Tallinn Old Town, Estonia. It was built to a design by Mikhail Preobrazhensky in a typical Russian Revival style between 1894 and 1900, during the period when the country was part of the Russian Empire. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is Tallinn`s largest and grandest orthodox cupola cathedral. It is dedicated to Saint Alexander Nevsky who in 1242 won the Battle of the Ice on Lake Peipus, in the territorial waters of present-day Estonia. The late Russian patriarch, Alexis II, started his priestly ministry in the church. Later on, as the USSR was officially non-religious, many churches including this cathedral were left to decline. The church has been meticulously restored since Estonia regained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The church`s towers hold Tallinn`s most powerful church bell ensemble, consisting of 11 bells, including the largest in Tallinn, weighing 15 tonnes.

Svetitskhoveli Georgian Orthodox Cathedral, Tblisi Georgia. This cathedral dates from 1029, but suffered damage from earthquakes and was desecrated multiple times by marauding armies.
The small structure under the archway is a 'ciborium' said to house the robe of Jesus beneath; it dates from the 1600's.
The interior is stripped to bare essentials, truly an ascetic temple of worship and a moving experience even for those without faith.

The design of Orthodox Churches is very ornate and the winter church at the Curchi Monastery in Moldova is spectacular. With icons depicting religious scenes all around the sight is breath taking.
This Russian Orthodox Church sits on top of a hill overlooking the village of Ninilchik, Alaska. In the foreground is a graveyard, still in use based on the presence of flowers at some of the gravesites. This area has a heavily Russian heritage, and the village name is Russian (as are many of the town/village names in the area).

nelle foto di architettura...
un po di ortodossia ...
è il minimo O_O!?
altrimenti anziché architetture ...
certe immagini si dovrebbero chiamare : storture fotografiche.
poi certo non solo linee di forza , e non necessariamente si devono mantenere orizzonti dritti e piombi perfetti ..
però la base di partenza ..
è quella .
poi..poi...
se vogliamo essere pignoli, pignoli neppure questa sopra è indiscutibilmente perfettissima!
$%&°°"ç!????
ma oltre alle linee...
ed il punto di ripresa, molto è dovuto alla gestione ombre ,luci ,scelte dei toni, desaturazione , contrasto...e bla bla bla...
le possibili varianti durante lo scatto ed in postproduzione sono centinai di migliaia..
anche se la foto di architettura è per antonomasia : ORTODOSSA!
questa sotto in una chiesa ad Agia Nicolaus,(reperita in rete) stessa architettura molto bella, e..decisamente meno spartana.
