 |
| I'll have to look up the name of this church. |
 |
| More details from the church interior. The
stuff that looks like marble is just plaster/drywall and paint.
A skilled paint job, but still it's paint. We were to see a lot
more of this stuff at Peterhof. |
 |
| This is real. It's carved malachite. |
 |
| Detail of the Malachite. The craftsmanship in
Russia was polar; it was either VERY VERY GOOD, like the work on
this malachite, or it sucked. |
 |
| More church interiors. It's all paint, no
gilding or molding. |
 |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Another big old church. Little did we know at
the time, but all we would be seeing would be churches.
St Issac's Cathedral. |
