Russia's Golden Ring
We had a chance to escape the big Russian cities a couple of times and headed out to the Golden Ring towns outside of Moscow that were once-upon-a-time the sites of old capitals. Once again, the architecture is overwhelmingly grand, especially the domed monasteries and churches.
The blue and gold domes of the massive monastery of Sergiev Posad
An less touristed church in Yaroslavl with amazing tiled green domes
And some more modern local artwork on an adjacent wall

Trent looks like a deranged political prisoner with last meal. Love your photos of all the architecture and St. Petersburg looks very romantic.
