The Orthodox Church of Nazareth in Israel stands tall in the sun. A calm and simple view I took there.

Наталья Соколова It turned out beautifully, the sun hits the walls directly. Where exactly in Nazareth did you film and at what time of year?
Alejandro Romero The church of San Gabriel, that is the one I like the most in Nazareth. The sun beats down there in summer, like in the photo.
James Bennett Yeah, that's the one with the big courtyard out front. The stone there stays cool even when it's 95 degrees out.
Χριστίνα Θεοδώρου St. Gabriel's Church is that, right? The light falls so strongly on the stone that it almost burns the eye.
Paul Johnson Yeah the sun really hits that white stone hard. I read the well inside the church is the same one where the angel appeared to Mary according to tradition.
Красимира Маркова Yes, the stone looks really white and brightly lit. Interesting about the well inside, I didn't know that part of the lore.
Христо Василев Yes, the stone shines brightly in this sun.
Δήμητρα Νικολαΐδου Yes, the stone appears to be burning from the sun. Is it open to visitors every day or only at certain times?
Величка Ангелова Yes, the stone looks almost dazzling in this photo. Is the well inside really open for viewing every day?
Тимофей Тарасов Where exactly in Nazareth did you film it, right at the entrance or further down the street? And what time of year was it?
