Church of our Savior on Spilled Blood

Photo courtesy of Natalia R. St. Petersburg, Russia is home to one of the most striking churches in the entire world. The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood was constructed precisely on the spot where Emperor Alexander II was assassinated in March 1881. This amazing house of worship has been photographed perhaps more than any other on the planet since its completion in 1907. The photographer who captured this wonderful image wishes to remain pretty much anonymous, offering the first name and last initial only. Be that as it may, this is an exceptional image nonetheless.
