notes:

The ancient Russian city Pskov has celebrated 1100 years jubilee, on July 20-24, 2003, of the first mentioning in the annals. In the epoch of the middle ages Pskov was the center of feudal republic. The beginning of its history is connected with the name of the famous princess Olga. Pskov is first mentioned in Russian chronicles in 903, on the occasion of the wedding of Kiev prince Igor (the son of Ryurik, the first prince of Old Rus), and the future princess Olga (later canonized and known as Saint Olga), who was a native of Pskov. Тне Olga’s Chapel in Pskov stands on the bank of the river Velikaja and was built in 2000. The construction was initiated by Olga’s Foundation. Now it is situated on the place where the old Olga’s Chapel was destroyed. This chapel on the bank of the river Velikaya, established at the place, where, as the story has it, the Great Princess was given the miraculous omen: three bright rays piercing the sky and meeting on the top of a rocky cape. And on that cape she ordered to erect a temple in the name of the Holy Trinity.

Спасибо большое, Михаил! А между тем, нечто похожее есть... Здесь возможностей для разнообразия ракурсов еще меньше... Остается только показать то же самое, но по-своему. smile Вы не представляете - два дня сидела не разгибаясь над обработкой... smile
