The first photo below is now the iconic shot for visitors arriving in the historic small city of Uglich via the Volga River, as we did with Viking River Cruises. The bright colors of the church on the point are irresistible to tourists and Russians alike. We were fortunate to have bright, beautiful skies while there.

What beautiful skies and churches.

These are such wonderful views, Kay--I love the colors on the buildings. How did the people there feel about American tourists? I have so many questions, but am being conservative by only asking one!
I find these Russian churches so beautiful.
Greetings,

You're right beautiful collours!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
What gorgeous blue skies and I love how you've captured the cathedrals silhouetted against them! Superb captures! Happy SWF! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

how nice this cruise must have been. lucky you.
All these great, colourful churches and buildings make Canada look a little dull!
I love those wonderfful blue domes against the clear blue sky Kay - a joyful sight!
These are all wonderful. I adore the Russian roof tops.
I love the first shot best. Such a colourful building in the green landscape against the really blue sky. How many pictures did you take? Bunches I bet. Don't you just love digital? In the "old" days we had to count our shots or pay a huge price for developing. - Margy
Gorgeous skies and I love all the domes. Great shots, happy skywatching!
What wonderful churches!
Beautiful shots, especially the first one! It must have been like looking into a fairy tale.
What beautiful blue skies--and those buildings and towers are amazing--such wonderful architecture in Russia. What a trip you must have had!!!! Mickie :)
How completely wonderful! It would have been wonderful to see the buildings any time, but on a blue-sky day it must have seemed like magic as the colors stand out and echo against the sky.
Lovely skies and contrasting domed rooftops Kay. What a treat on your travels.
Wow I am so impress of the beauty of Russia. Thank you for sharing these photos.

How long did you plan for this trip of a life time? Is it exactly as you had wished for.
Everything is WOW!!!
I will have to join Amazing Race to visit here.
Beautiful skies! I am glad you got there on a clear day. The architecture has fabulous details.
Wonderful shots of beautiful cathedrals.
Oh my goodness! What glorious shots of these lovely old roof tops and domes!
I love this colorful church with its "onion" towers (it German they are called like this) they also exist in the South of Germany, but of course not so colorful !
that top shot is amazing!
the contrast of the building against the blue sky is so wonderful
The architecture is so lovely!
The blue domes with the glorious red and yellow is stunning. Like something from a children's book!
