Novodevichy Convent


The Convent with all its gold leaf and coloured brickwork looked great on a sunny crisp morning.

Absolutely beautiful Ann! There's something about the onion topped domes with the copious amounts of gilding that seem so far removed from what what many people associate with Russia. I'm so pleased that you're getting such fantastic weather - sun and snow but then you probably are longing for blizzard conditions. Just don't send them over here!

I'm getting more jealous as the days go by, but am also glad that you're having good weather and visiting some interesting places. Those gilded onion domes are to die for...
