Description Русская Православная Церковь Св. Марии Магдалины в Дармштадте (Russische Kapelle St. Maria Magdalena Darmstadt)

My first post from the Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt shows a part of the Russian chapel.
It was built in 1600´s Russian church style (1897-1899) by the Russian architect Louis Benois (Leontij Nikolajewitsch Nebnois), a grandfather of Peter Ustinov. It was built for Czsar Nikolaus II, who married the princess of Darmstadt - Alix von Hessen, later Czarina Alexandra.

I had been at this beautiful place as a child with my grandma very often and some weeks ago I had the idea to visit the Mathildenhöhe again... Yesterday I did it!!!

I guess there will be some more posts from this session

Ah, die künstlerische Perspektive , einen blauen Rahmen hätte ich allerdings nicht gewählt, setzt sich so schlecht vom Himmel ab; sag' jetzt bloss nicht das war beabsichtigt so.

Darf man da auch Interiors fotographieren? Das wuerde mich interessieren, wenn du da mal ein paar innen knipsen kannst.

Ich möchte sehr gerne einmal Deutschland gründlich bereisen. Bis jetzt haben wir das immer aufgeschoben weil's so nahe ist und wir immer dachten:"wir machen das wenn wir alt sind "

Glorious richness of tone and colour, Volker, and great use of the angle. The border is very effectively used here too

vw1956 In reply to Wodewose [2006-09-26 16:49:35 +0000 UTC]

I had to rotate it about 5° and I lost some of the photo so I had to add this dark blue border because of the composition...

Thank You so much for Your kind words, Aidan
