A religious service was in full flower as we visited this elegant cathedral, dedicated by Czar Nicholas II in 1896 to commemorate 900 years of Christianity in Russia. My fellow photographer Tim May ( http://www.pbase.com/mityam ) was busily framing a shot, seemingly oblivious to a worshipping Kievite not far from his right elbow. She is as intent on exercising her faith as Tim is in getting his shot. I juxtapose two human beings back to back from opposite sides of the earth who share a moment in time and space for entirely different purposes.
