Russian Cathedral

Another beautiful site in Nice is the Russian Orthodox Cathedral.  I confess I haven't edited all of these photos yet, and it was a pretty gray day when I was able to make it there, so you'll just have to take my word for it that the colors are completely stunning in person.  Nice was, evidently, a haven for Russian nobility back in the day (who wouldn't want to be on the French Riviera instead of Moscow..?) and a lot of the culture remains.  There's something wonderful about seeing the onion domes set against palm trees.
