The sun's rays breaking through the clouds above the cathedral give such a calm, pure glow. I always love how light can just change an entire place.
Promienie słońca przebijające się przez chmury nad katedrą dają taki spokojny, czysty blask. Zawsze mi się podoba, jak światło potrafi tak po prostu zmienić całe miejsce.

Yes, these rays show the texture on the towers nicely.

Yes, these rays bring out the texture on the towers well. I usually go there at 9.00 on Sunday, because after 10.30 it's already crowded.

The light really picks out the brick on that left roof. Are the weekday opening hours the same in winter or do they change?

That light looks good on the concrete. I would like to see live how it falls on that north facade after the overhaul.

I read The Egyptian Crutch last night before bed. It stuck in my head as an old man said that true prayer begins only when you are no longer looking for anything for yourself. This morning, on my way to work, I thought that this is exactly what happens to me too rarely. In the evening I will try to read a little more, after I put the little one to bed.
Am citit aseară din „Patericul egiptean” înainte de culcare. Mi-a rămas în cap cum un bătrân zicea că rugăciunea adevărată începe abia când nu mai cauți nimic pentru tine. Azi-dimineață, în drum spre slujbă, m-am gândit că exact asta mi se întâmplă prea rar. Seara o să încerc să citesc iar un pic, după ce îl bag pe micuț în pat.

The White Church stands on the other side, already at dusk. The light from the windows falls on the water quietly and evenly, and this makes everything around seem calmer.
Белая церковь стоит на том берегу, уже в сумерках. Свет из окон ложится на воду тихо и ровно, и от этого всё вокруг кажется спокойнее.

Is he from Skadar? When exactly did you take it, how many days ago?

Yes, this is the church on the islet of Vranianina. I know that the fishermen there still leave a few candles at the entrance before leaving with the boats at early dawn.

Yes, the light on the water is very even.

Yes, it's on Lake Skadar. The photo clearly shows how the stone of the walls almost merges with the water, and the roof slightly shines from the remnants of light.

The church looks peaceful against the green trees. The sun illuminates it well and everything is peaceful.
Църквата изглежда спокойна на фона на зелените дървета. Слънцето я осветява добре и всичко е мирно.

The bricks on the left really catch that sunlight. Is the church open on Wednesday afternoons for a quick visit?

The dome and bricks come out sharply.

The dome and the bricks are really clearly visible. And is the church open to people during the week, say on Thursday afternoons, or only on days of service?

The dome and the bricks stand out very clearly.
