This is a beautiful shot of the inside of a big Orthodox church. The tall columns and open space always make me feel quiet and steady when I step in.

Андрей Тарасов These columns immediately show that the church is old, with pre-revolutionary masonry. The height is decent, and the arch does not press, well done.
Simona Ciobanu Yes, I would like to see the picture closer too, it looks interesting.
Anna Moore The brickwork on those columns looks solid, must have taken real skill to lay them that straight without modern tools.
Григорий Макаров The columns are really straight, but on the vault above you can clearly see how the brick is laid in rings, without a single crack. Solid work.
ვახტანგ ჯავახიშვილი Columns are well built.
Дарья Макарова The columns stand strong, but on the roof above the bricks are laid in even circles, even the seams are almost invisible. Good masonry.
Анна Волкова The columns stand strong, but on the vault above the brick is laid in even circles, even the seams are almost invisible. Good masonry.
ალექსანდრე დოლიძე The columns are indeed built correctly, but notice how the bricks above are tied together.
Barbara Wiśniewska Does anyone know what time services are there on Sunday and whether the church is open to visitors during the week?
Irene Wilson The brick rings in the dome are a nice touch. In our part of Ontario a lot of the older Catholic churches used the same ring-laying method for their vaults before concrete took over.
Иван Атанасов The columns really look solid. Does anyone know what time the Sunday service is there and if the church is open to visitors during the week?
Daniel Brown The brickwork on those columns really holds up well. This is St. Nicholas Church by the way, they have liturgy at 9 on Sundays.
Dominika Horváthová Nice photo, those pillars look really strong. Where and when did you take the photo?
Сергій Лисенко The columns are strong, but on the ceiling you can clearly see how the light falls on the bricks and makes each seam clearer.
Daniel Procházka The columns look really solid, but the circular vault above is even better in that picture, you can see how it's holding up on its own.
