An unusual picture - domes on the ground. They are intended for the Orthodox Church of the Forty Martyrs in Konakovo. Tver region. Russia.
Gold. The most common color of Orthodox domes represents eternity and heavenly glory. Temples with golden domes were dedicated to Christ and the great church holidays - Christmas, Meeting, Annunciation. Such chapters crown the Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Kremlin cathedrals - the Assumption, Annunciation, Arkhangelsk.
Currently, domes are not clad with gold, but earlier the metal was dissolved in mercury, and then the resulting amalgam was applied to a hot copper sheet. The gilding process was very expensive and labor intensive.
The onion dome in Orthodox architecture is the embodiment of prayer, aspiration to heaven. According to researcher Yevgeny Trubetskoy, such a dome on the base of the drum resembles a candle flame. Onion-shaped chapters are characteristic of Russian architecture of the 16th – 17th centuries.

Ceiling inside les Galeries Lafayette in Paris.
In October 1912, the new store’s inauguration was a major event. The store’s 5 floors, balconies and glass dome were advertised all over Paris, the provinces and even globally as pure refinement. Inspired by a neo-Byzantine style, the 33-meter high glass dome comprises of 10 painted windows encapsulated in rich metallic frames and decorated in a sculpted floral motif.
It was pretty cool to still see some snow on top of Half Dome over a month after the last snow storm. The river was flowing pretty smoothly right now and I was able to get some nice reflections off of the water.
The roads were clear and made for a nice weekend drive. There is still a lot of snow on the ground and not a lot of people here to fight for the great views. I sure hope we get another storm soon to add to this snow though.
