Cathdral of the Resurrection
The restoration of this treasure of Russian history started in 1968, 18 years before perestroika was introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev at the Twenty-Seventh Party Congress in 1986. Taken at dusk with the natural hues of the sky setting the theme.
The old Cathedral of Russian history with the jet contrail representing the current "state" and the future for Russia.
