Nefski Cathedral

Sofia, Bulgaria

When I walk from my appartment to the center, this must be the most striking building I come across - Its the second largest cathedral of this kind in Europe (if I remember correctly) and it stands out as one of the biggest monuments of ancient Bulgarian history.

This picture hides the 2 big golden domes that are on top - they are undergoing a full restauration at the moment and I have been told they are covered again with real gold.

Oops forgot to tell what I did to it before posting;
- Auto levels in Photoshop
- Lots of perspective correction to make it look more robust
- Sharpening

Gorgeous place of worship! Can't imagine how much nicer it could be after restoration.
