The Sun Peaking Behind the dramatic onion domes atop the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood in St. Petersburg, Russia

Although I am not a religious person, and the Five More Minutes With Web site is intended to be totally nondenominational, during our recent visit to St. Petersburg, Russia, I couldn’t help but be moved by and in awe of the iconic architecture offered up by the Russian Orthodox cathedrals that dot that fascinating city.

Here’s an interesting shot of the afternoon sun behind the dramatic onion domes atop the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood. According to WikiPedia, “The name refers to the blood of Tsar Alexander II of Russia, who was assassinated on that site in 1881.”

I wanted to share the photo with you as a source of inspiration and beauty, something that leads our thoughts to lofty heights.
