Photography – Church of Spilled Blood – St Petersburg

I just recently had the good fortune to visit St Petersburg.

One of the ‘must do’ stops was the Church Of The Spilled Blood with its amazing colourful Onion Domes.

Unfortunately it is under repair with scaffolding but none the less it was staggeringly beautiful.

As I am almost out of space on my Blog I can only put a few pictures up but the interior was as mind blowing as the exterior!

It was built on the site where Alexander 2nd was assassinated.

Here’s a little taste.

  1. Loved St Petersburg, historic and gorgeous location, those open spaces! Great pics, didn’t know one could ‘run out of space’ on WP though …

    1. Yes it was very beautiful. I can see why there was a revolution. Caught between the opulence of the church and the aristocracy the people were bled dry.
      I’ve already bought as much space as they will allow me but with 7900 published articles it is full. Looks like I will either have to spend a day deleting or stop blogging. The business plan is just too expensive.

      1. They was a jolly young matron
        Who had Johnson for a patron
        She fed him with pies
        And in front of her eyes
        He got the whole of our fate wrong.
