Orthodox Church in the Southern City, a photo from Odeska, West

Photographer's Note

This Svyato-Vvedenska (devoted to the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary) was built recently at northern outskirts of Yuzhne (Southern), a seaside city (since 1993) near the Hrihorivskiy (or Adzhalikskiy) Estuary, where in 1970s a big industrial and transportation zone was founded. The city was to house the builders and workers of this zone, which now includes the Southern Port (this port, Odessa抯 and Illichivsk抯 ones are the three Ukraine抯 biggest ports) and big chemical plant built at the port (see my TE post �Early Morning in the Southern Port�.

Now the population of Yuzhne is 26,000. In the city there are at least four religious buildings of the following confessions:
Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate (their church is shown in the picture);
Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyivan Patriarchate;
Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and
Christian Baptists.

Hi Sergiy.
Wonderful picture of the Orthodox church, I love his several volumes of nave and chapels and elegant towers, the soft blue of the building is very pleasant and offers a good contrast to the more intense blue of the sky. The green branch in the foreground gives a nice touch.
Very good light and sharp images.
Good weekend.
Best regards.
Luis.

Hello Sergiy,

A little greenery which contrasts agreeably in this universe of blue. Still a beautiful photograph which emphasizes well this church which merges, almost, with this splendid blue sky. The light is superb and brings an excellent clearness to the image. Pretty and interesting glance, thank you for your informative note Sergiy.

With all my friendships and excellent Sunday,

Jean-Charles

Hi Sergiy,
You chose a good angle for this framing, with which you have obtained a splendid photo of architecture.
The church is outlined with its whiteness on the blue sky, its domes and its roofs provide a nice contrast and add a good graphism to the composition.
I like the sharpness and the smoothness of the image, as well as the quality of the colors.
A beautiful work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep
