Description
Volgograd, RussiaI feel somewhat... obliged even to post a frame like this one as kitsch as you think it might be.
This Russian Orthodox cross was out at a war memorial in the middle of nowhere in the honor of those who died during the battle of Stalingrad.
Of course, you're probably thinking, why would the Soviet government allow a cross? Well you're right in thinking that, this was only added by the Russian Orthodox church after the collapse of the USSR.

it's not cliche at all, which is another reason why it's a good job

Hey, thanks... wish I could take credit about the composition... but I really can't. I just pretty much point and shot this one without really thinking about it. I didn't know what I have till afterwards.
I'm glad that you think it's nice. I was afraid that it would be a little to cliche.

The lighting and angle is so perfect this could have been a frame out of a very high budget video game! Stunning!
