Church on the Spilled Blood, St Petersburg Russia
This is St Petersburg's most elaborate church, with a classic Russian Orthodox exterior and interior decorated with some 7000 sq meters of mosaics. Designed by architect AA Parland and the archimandrite Ignaty, the church incorporates elements of 18th-century Russian architecture from Moscow and Yaroslavl, and is so lavish it took 24 years to build and went over budget by 1 million roubles - en enormous sum for the times.
A water spill on my black granite kitchen countertop yielded this fascinating image. The water magnified the reflected backsplash tiles and the white grouting. It even sharpened the focus.

This month one of the three themes of the Snap Happy Group was 'water". This is my contribution to the theme.
Standing in the mountains between storms can be frightening to some. The exiting rain, the coming dark, lightning approaching on the horizon. The mountains reflect our lives in subtle ways, the storms representing strife, conflict, turmoil within our lives, within our minds. No storm lasts forever though, and between the crashing waves of downpours, thunder, and the oppressive weight form above, we have these moments of peace. Moments of true beauty, wonder, sparks of the imagination. With that comes our responsibility to stand firm as the next storm spills over the edge, protect ourselves form the coming storm, and wait once again for the peace that comes between. The mountains are a reflection of ourselves, once just has to look and see.

Don't worry, I threw salt over my shoulder when I was done with this photo shoot.
Usually Vas'ka trying water by his paw and leaves traces on the floor. But this time he was not to blame for it...
Thank you all for visits, faves and comments!
The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood was erected on the site where political nihilists assassinated Emperor Alexander II in March 1881. The church was funded by the Romanov imperial family in honor of Alexander II, and the suffix "on [Spilled] Blood" refers to his assassination.
Architecturally, the cathedral differs from Saint Petersburg's other structures. The city's architecture is predominantly Baroque and Neoclassical, but the Savior on Blood harks back to medieval Russian architecture in the spirit of romantic nationalism.
On Monday I had a RDO and was keen to photograph early in the morning. It was overcast, not much sun but it was a good chance to practise long exposures. This photo was taken at an ocean baths and here you can see the spill over from the baths.

... or the buttons!
After several attempts using a few matching buttons I was just closing down the camera when the sun came out and shone on the table-top - so I took a random handful of buttons from my big 'button jar' and scattered them across the surface. A final parting shot! I was surprised when I looked at the results. I liked the last random throw more than the carefully arranged shots! So I'm spilling the beans on the photoshoot ... and spilling the buttons 😊
For the "Looking close... on Friday!" challenge "Buttons"
Have a happy weekend!

- A superstition in Western cultures holds that spilling salt is an evil omen.
The European belief in the ill luck that comes from spilt salt is quite old, going back to ancient Rome. The 1556 Hieroglyphica of Piero Valeriano Bolzani reports that "salt was formerly a symbol of friendship, because of its lasting quality. For it makes substances more compact and preserves them for a long time: hence it was usually presented to guests before other food, to signify the abiding strength of friendship. Wherefore many consider it ominous to spill salt on the table.
This may not be the actual explanation since salt was a valuable commodity in ancient times and, as such, was seen as a symbol of trust and friendship. A German proverb held that "whoever spills salt arouses enmity". According to Charles Nodier, among "savages", the "action of spilling salt ... indicates among them the refusal of protection and hospitality from such strangers as they may have reason to suspect are thieves and murderers."
One widespread explanation of the belief that it is unlucky to spill salt is that Judas Iscariot spilled the salt at the Last Supper and indeed Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper depicts Judas Iscariot having knocked over a salt-cellar.
This is often taken as a questionable explanation because spilling salt was generally considered a bad omen already and indeed the imagery predates da Vinci's usage.
I gotta' do some extra editing but this is it for now because it needs to be up yesterday.

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood (Russian: Церковь Спаса на Крови, Tserkovʹ Spasa na Krovi)[a] is a former Russian Orthodox church in Saint Petersburg, Russia which currently functions as a secular museum. The structure was constructed between 1883 and 1907. It is one of Saint Petersburg's major attractions.
The church was erected on the site where political nihilists assassinated Emperor Alexander II in March 1881. The church was funded by the Romanov imperial family in honor of Alexander II, and the suffix "on [Spilled] Blood" refers to his assassination.[1]
