Rock of the Holy Appearance near cape Fiolent, Sevastopol. The name has received that under the legend in 891 year Taurian Greeks suffering disaster on a small vessel began to pray for the help. Sacred George was it and has pacified a storm.
Other names of a rock: Georges's rocks, Georgievskaya rock.
In 1891 the cross made of a white marble has been established on a rock, destroyed in 1920th years. On September, 14th 1991 in St. Nicholas Church (on the Brothers' Cemetery in Sevastopol) has been consecrated a new seven-meter metal cross in weight in 1400 kg which at support of the Black Sea fleet of the Russian Federation by the helicopter has been transferred above Sevastopol and it is set up on a former place.
The picture is made on November, 10th some hours prior to the hurricane which has shaken Crimea by destructions.

Спасибо за отзыв. Что и говорить, вокруг нас такая богатая история.

Много, что можно увидеть в фотографиях на сайте, но мне не попадалось других работ на эту тему (это место). Очень познавательно.


Valeriy Bespalko Valeriy Bespalko #5 Fri 16 Nov 2007 22:14

Но история этого места имеет своё продолжение. При размещении новых снимков обязательно напишу.

Fabulous tones and light, and a great catch of the sea with your shooting angle.

Very interesting history of this rock, I guess it was the Bolsheviks who tore the cross down in the 1920s. Thanks for the notes.

You are right are there were hard times for Russia.
