RE: Felt Extraterrestrial - Imprinted by LightCaptured
Очень классное место.
Эти стены похожи на мрамор. Или это всё-таки соль?
It's a very cool place.
These walls look like marble. Or is that salt?

Да! :)
The wall are really impressive - it is layers of petrified salt.
The best part - tripods and pro cameras are allowed but only for personal usage :)))
Но ведь это не святой храм))
Хотя это круче любого храма.
Храм Матери-природы )
But it's not a holy temple, is it?))
It's cooler than any temple though.
A temple to Mother Nature.)
Hehehe, exactly :)
Speaking of taking photos in the churches here, it's not that they don't like it, it's just that you have to pay! :)
Probably the same situation in your country? ;) It seems Orthodox priest wouldn't do or allow anything for free :D
в некоторых церквях (например, Морской собор в Кронштадте) фотографировать разрешено официально и бесплатно. Но там особенный храм, в чём-то он морской музеё.
В обычных церквях я не фотографирую или делаю это вслепую с камерой на животе ))
in some churches (for example, the Sea Cathedral in Kronstadt) photography is allowed officially and free of charge. But it's a special church there, in some ways it's a maritime museum.
In ordinary churches I don't take photos or I do it blindly with a camera on my stomach ))
Now that you say it, I recall a visit to a similar church in Bulgaria that actually liked our cameras and motivated us to take photos but it was a museum with rare religious services.
By the way, you don't need to write in English, I understand Russian it's just that I can't write well :) Save your time, please :)
Классно) Буду писать на русском, так мне действительно проще)
Морской собор в Кронштадте некоторое время был музеем флота. Потом его реставрировали и отдали церкви. Не то, чтобы насовсем (я не знаю настоящего статуса), но там проводят службы и есть "туристическая" составляющая.
Но фотографировать там можно свободно.
;)
It's really awesome to have such places, that are "exceptions" from the common no-photo church rule, hehe.
Here is the church I was talking about:
It was built by the Ottoman invaders a few centuries ago as a mosque and later after the liberation it was converted to a church. The old Arabic letters inscriptions still remain on the walls and that is quite interesting to see.
Now-a-days it is a museum. So there is no priest all the time but during the major Christian holidays they place masses there.
Mosques do not have bell towers, so a separate tower had been build to handle the bells 20 meters away from the church ;)
Inside:
красиво... теперь я обязан показать свой собор ))
Разве это можно скрывать от камеры ))
