Description Its the russion orthodox church in Riga, Lithuania. I was not allowed to take photo's bu before they could stop me I had already taken one.
churches are so frightening. Not so much their buildings but because of the death clinging to religious systems and their fanatical warfares.


Fuji Finepix 40i, levels and slight desat in ps.

Oh that's a brilliant shot...simply brilliant.

I really..I don't know what I can say about it. I'd love to say something insightful, but I'm just, wow.
Cool stuff.

And...I never found churches to be scary, but I never found them particularly peaceful either...merely places of interest and workmanship...but that's just me.

Thanks... Well.. Im slowly growing into that fear, where I can start to feel the bodies on which those churches are actually built... the blood of the millions, for a bunch of profiteering gluttoons at the top.
Anyway, anyone should believe what they want, and I respect it, but damn, I wish everyone would think that way.

Hmm, well, you know, something that carries the same contextual meaning as amen, or "I agree"

Who cares, noone comments on my work, really... I get the occasional "Oh wow, thats so cool, w000t' kinda thing, and every once in a while a good regular steppes in but otherwise...

Heh, w00t.

I can relate to that feeling :-p
But then, I think about 97% of DevArt can relate to that feeling in one way or another, lol.

I found I started getting a heap of page views after I made close to 200 comments in around one week :-\

Anyway.
