Sunday after Elevation
The sky is cloudy today, and the houses appear calm in front of the church. Cars are parked on the street, and the domes shine with a light golden hue.

Ivana Kováčová I see that the golden domes in the photo are from Saint Nicholas Church in Beirut. There is probably not much movement there today, because the weather here in Prešov is similar and people prefer to stay at home.
Ксения Фёдорова The domes of St. Nicholas in Beirut do not look new at all; the masonry on the walls has already darkened with age. I wonder what year they were last gilded.
Štefan Šimko Those domes look like they were last gilded a good fifty years ago. You can already see a few spots from the rain on them, and part of the masonry below is quite dark from old age.
Олег Фёдоров The domes definitely haven’t been gilded for fifty years; you can see how the paint has peeled off in places. I wonder when the walls downstairs were last repaired.
