The large church with the orange roof is clearly visible from above, among the buildings of the city. The scene is calm today.

Matthew Adams That orange roof really stands out against the rest of the buildings. Nice clear shot.
Thomas Baker The orange roof catches the sun on one side and leaves a sharp shadow across the tiles. Nice detail on the brickwork below too.
Γιάννης Μακρής The orange color of the roof shows that they used old tiles, probably from the time of the Ottoman period. The bricks underneath have that rough texture you see in 18th century buildings.
Надежда Стоянова Looking at the picture, it is immediately obvious that this is the church of St. Nicholas. The orange tiles are quite bleached by the sun.
Andrei Lungu The view from above looks interesting. I would also like to see the picture closer.
Sarah Johnson The orange tiles do look pretty faded in that light. Where exactly did you take this from, and was it recent?
