Enchanting pics of Orthodox areas

The resting place of threads that were very valid in 2004, but not so much in 2024. Basically this is a giant historical archive.

This one in particular is very striking. At first it looked like an AI generated image. Truly stunning

Yes, isn't it beautiful ? I'm sure it's REAL. I don't have a name for it yet, though.

Remember Chukotka was where the dissident MP Bishop was sent as a punishment, as it is so incredibly distant from anywhere in central Russia ? I'm trying to recall his name. Was it Bp Diomed ? I think the name originally derived from a Greek warrior.
