100 years ago, Shuya was part of the Golden Ring of Russia. Unfortunately, the Bolsheviks destroyed most of the temples and monasteries.

For example, this temple was blown up for testing explosives for the explosion of Christ the Savior in Moscow:

And by the way, before I forget. The unique collection of color photographs by Proskudin-Gorsky. Photos were made over 100 years ago by 3 light filter.

That's exactly what it looks like--part of the Golden Ring! I love that part of Russia!


And look at those checkerboard roof tiles in that photo! You NEVER see that sort of thing anymore! Maybe only in a rare architectural gem in Bulgaria or Romania, or in a forgotten corner of Russia.


And those Proskudin-Gorsky photos! Priceless! Those are fantastic! Literally a window in time! ♥ ♥ ♥
Do they sell reproductions? I'd love to frame some of them!

I don't know. Prokudin-Gorsky emigrated from Russia in 1918. The original photos are stored in the United States (The Library of Congress). This is a great success - to keep these unique images.
