Kiev: city of churches

^^ I don't think I've ever seen so many incredible churches in my life. ^^ These ones are all in a kind of enclave down one end of the city. Yes, that's real gold.
^^ The colours on this one were incredible. The photo doesn't do it justice. ^^ This is St Michaels, a tower at one end of the square. You can see St Sophia behind it.
^^ And this is the other side of St Michael's. ^^ All those spires from a distance make for a lovely sight.
^^ Had enough churches? Perhaps just a few more? ^^ Another rooftops view. You can also see that enormous statue in the distance.
^^ St Sophia's. These buildings are ancient and gorgeous and even more incredible on the inside. ^^ Just for a change of pace, a synagogue, but I didn't get there till after dark, so it's not a great photo.
